    I think I'm going to stop drinking alcohol after this weekend. It's starting to get a bit boring at this stage and hangovers are resembling the comedown from pills.

    Any suggestions for alternative pastimes that don't include listening to drunk people while sober and team sports?

    Take a visit to this place below and you won't need alcohol again.

    Skydive and you will have a major moment of clarity and a feeling of absolute well-being. The ultimate high. http://www.skydive.ie/

    or

    You could collect as many back issues of magazines like Hello and OK as you can and make scrapbooks devoted to the life and times of all your favourite celebs. Even better use the cuttings to create elaborate comic book style stories of your own creation. Think about it! The unlikely hero Russell Brand trying to save the Damsel in distress Bill Cullen from the dastardly Nazi Prince Harry.

    Whichever one you choose let us know how you get on.

    The vigilante option seems popular, all you need is a snooker ball in a sock.How about stalking random people ?

    Save the money you would normally spend on a night out and do things you normally wouldn't with your life.

    Seeing the sun rise on the summit of Killiminjaro beats waking up to a mid winter Sunday morning hangover anyday. Just remember in a few years time you will have forgotten all your wasted nights out. Do things you never thought you would and you'll bring the memories of them to your grave.

    It dosen't mean you have to live like a monk either. Life dosen't stop just because alcohol has.

    dont ditch the drink just yet. lately i have become dissilusioned with it also but i have been trying stronger beers now and spirits instead of getting bagged up with low strength lager and not really getting pissed.
    Warka is a polish beer with 5.6% and a good way to start your new drinking habits. i wont touch anything less than 5.5% now even for refreshment purposes.

    I'm drinking a pina colada right now, on a rainy Sunday in Dublin. But if you feel as though you have a problem OP, stop. I rarely drink to get drunk, I don't enjoy being drunk. But I do like the taste. That reminds me.

    You could recreate this beautiful Spanish galleon in your own home. Week by week, be amazed as your very own large pile of small random plastic pieces gets even bigger, and marvel as you realize that Time after time, you receive bits that dont connect to any of the bits you already have. Complete in just 2,000 issues, this is an incredible way to waste time and money. Issue one comes with a small plastic cannon and this long flat piece you wont need for months and will probably lose.. In shops now, only 9.99

    I do that, as well as slur my speech and act the dick, and no-one knows the difference, people think that I was already drunk when I arrived. It saves me a feckin fortune.

    i guess if ya had a few good mates who thought the same, stay in and dont drink and every 6 weeks or whatever head off somewhere and play golf or something, and get on the lash afterwards with the monday off work.

    Not when I'm sober and they're all drunk. Hell naw.

    Yep, from the nights I've been out and haven't been drinking, I know that all drunk people are insufferable. Repetitive, overly effusive, just plain annoying. And yes, I include drunk me in that assessment. :)

    Don't be weak, you have to drink through the boredom.

    Run around your neighbourhood naeked at 4am while slapping your ass.
    No one will see you and its most liberating.

    Drink has never given up on you because it was bored, and lets be fair, you aren't all that interesting until you are combined with booze.

    Marry someone, have a lot of kids, get a mortgage, take out large loans to refurbish your new house and to buy a brand new big family car.

    Problem solved.

    You won't be able to drink ever again but you will really want to all the time, this is the exact opposite to your current predicament.

    On a serious note, Ireland has a weird relationship with drink, you can get out of your mind blind drunk 3 days a week for years and no one bats an eyelid, go off it for a month and everyone asks you questions why.
