Who else here is doing /dryjanuary/

who here is going to stop giving your hard earned money and gains to the fermented goblin and stop drinking for a month? You guys can all control yourselves, right?

>Not giving your hard earned money for a month
>Not only drinking in family reunions to not spend cash all year

>consuming cleaning supplies
>paying money for it too
I will never understand alcohol. I know a lot of things are poison, but alcohol has to be the world's most obvious one

straightedge fags need not apply

beer = liquid estrogen. take the hops pill.

A month isn't very much. I've been dry for 3 now and the first one was essentially just recovery into normal sleep patterns etc. But of course I drank more than most.

The money aspect is real tho, depending on where you live. But over here a quart of vodka is is €15 minimum. I suddenly seem to have money to spend on /g/ stuff and whatnot.

I know a few people who do a dry january every year

i haven't even had a drink in like two weeks, feels weird

Was going to stop in January but decided to just stop now. There is literally no benefit. On my last beer now. Cheers, boys.

>sober for 5 weeks
>friend wants to have a few beer on saturday
>why not
>end up going out
>drinking vodka and beer till completely blacked out

>got home and slept the entire sunday and finally woke up at 1 pm monday
>literally 24h+ sleep
>still feel like shit
fuck läds

get drunk again and you won't feel like shit

Cant I need to work.
really need to deal with this liquor devil somehow

instead, i'm just gonna have a great saturday night every other weekend like always, because i'm a white adult

Hardly drink as is...

How about /dry2018/. A month isn't a challenge, we spent our childhood without resorting to alcohol to enjoy life. Gotta rediscover ourselves, go back to the essence.

Drinking is a conplete waste of gains and money. Why ever drink?

I haven't had a drop since June. I'm someone who's already kind of predisposed to depression and anxiety, and alcohol really fucks with my head.

if your hormonal profile cant handle a few hops, you were never a man to begin with

if you're going to drink heavily a given night is it better to skip the gym because of your lesser ability to recover, or go to the gym anyway because in general more gym is usually a good thing in relation to gains and health?

i stopped drinking in general
the day i hit my goal, i might have some glasses of red wine.

Alcohol fucks with your metabolism and such.
for not to mention the incredible amount of bullshit calories.

Because the media says its "cool" and the sheeple follow

don't drink anymore. think the last time was in september.

the world is already bad enough more t levels, making it worse by drinking is retarded

what's wrong with milk and tea and water?

its relaxing and entertaining. its also one of few socially acceptable psychoactive compounds. life is too shitty to live it entirely sober

>actually using "sheeple"

LMAOing at ur life

This website is 16 plus

go anyway, unless you get so drunk you are hungover for 24 hours you will still make at least 50% of the gains

fuck off dad

Alcohol is the endboss enemy of living a healthy life. I'm supposed to drink everytime I see my friends.
Belgium has a strong beer and pub culture...

>mfw turbo alcoholic when enlisted
>12 racks a night with a whiskey chaser was the norm
>get out last year
>mfw haven't drank a drop of alcohol since

I don't know why it was so easy for me, I can totally go full teetotaler for the rest of my life

>Go to pubs and bars
>Order a cola or tea and that's it
>Friends stopped bitching once they were three drinks in
>Tell the ladies im being a good boy tonight
>they love it
>Enjoy the evening the same amount whether I had alcohol or not.

I turn 21 next month, so no thanks

I did Dry July with a freind, not drinking was easy, the hard part was that the whole social scene is around aicohol. Being around people drinking was ok, but the alternative to alcohol sucks, sugar drinks or coffee.
I enjoy a nice beer at the end of the week, maybe a glass of wine with food, but when it become everytime you meeting peole for what ever reason, its no longer enjoyable.

I wouldn't say the media - it's just a natural urge to conform that keeps people drinking.
My life is too good already lmao why the fuck would I poison myself drinking? A couple beers with mates is fine and sociable, but drinking to the point where you throw up or black out is beyond retarded. If you do this I don't know why you would waste your time getting Veeky Forums. Literally deletes gains.

enjoy your fucked up livers, extra abdominal fat and brain damage

I'm am going to seriously consider if it I remember seeing this post tomorrow. Cheers.

Grow up.

Im 27 and I've never drank a drop in my life.

Haven't had a drop since 2012. Fuck Stupid Juice.

I quit cold turkey from drinking a liter of vodka a night (and a handle on saturday) to not having a drop for over 3 months. It's was a nice reset. Now I've quit* but I still gotta get together with my buddy maybe once a month and play some drunk-souls or drunk-borne

I have similar issues and acted like a jackass on the booze recently so I’m off it.

How do you deal with people trying to pressure you into drinking again? It gets hard when you just want to chill out and have a few with mates.

Jesus I only drink once a month anyway. I prefer my health and physical beauty thank you very much. Any kind of drinking is shitty to begin with but I have no choice in this day and age.

lol at all the virgins in here talking about "muh gains" and "muh liver". chad gets blind drunk every night yet still slays and works at goldman sachs. when will they learn?

I actually stopped drinking when I found out how much non alcoholic beer market has changed and you can find some actually good ones, then I realized I just like drinking beer, not getting drunk. Also i have terrible anxiety and paranoia when Im hungover and it was getting worse so knowing how i would feel next day I just stick to non alcoholic beers

I've been moderating my drinking recently, I've only had one can of rum & coke in the past week and I haven't bought beer in about a fortnight. This should be a cinch.

t. well adjusted man

I've been saying this to every idiot who rants about soy/hormones in the water/estrogen in the food chain/whatever.
Then again, i stopped drinking alcohol in 2001 and don't miss it.

>life is too shitty to live it entirely sober
HTFU you drug-dependent piece of shit

I'm 7 shots in lads. Hadn't touched the creature in about 3 months. Just needed a Tequila Sunset. Life is funny sometimes.
I feel hopeless now. There's really no reason to stop is there? I can't work out anymore because I have a heart problem and lymphatic pain.
I don't like where this train ends.

I’m in, OP

>tfw i drank like 4 beers in total in 2017
I don't get the fucking appeal desu

Heavy drinker here. Homebrew beer and pretty much drink what I make every day.
Starting January, going keto and putting aside the drink for 3-4 months. Just getting past Christmas first. Let's fucken do this.

I had a drinking problem until I was told I had to deal with a low FODMAP diet which pointed out all my favorite dark rums were making me ill. Cleared that up real quick. 6 months sober now

Just get a near-debilitating digestive disease and not take a solid shit for 5 months. One week of normal bowel movements is enough motivation to keep up on the new habits forced upon you

Im complete degeneraet when it comes to drinking

beer with friends? 10 pilsners without issues

sitting with a book ? 1L of red wine every other day

the sad part is its the best part of my day, I also manage to get quite success with chicks while drunk reading at coffee places...

wat do

I rarely drink simply because i dont really enjoy it and feel worse afterwards. I dont even get hangovers but i just feel tired and lethargic the next day not to mention how much of a waste of time and money it is.
Almost everyone i know goes out drinking at least 3 times a week (im at uni) and they badger anyone who isnt doing to go with them. I have few friends but even those that i have endlessly accost me about going drinking. Sometimes, its just easier to capitulate. Moreover, im fairly convinced its the only time a number of people actually socialise. There are those who seem to never do anything or even leave their house save for drinking. This doesnt surprise me since ostensibly its their only hobby and myself i struggle to make acquaintances outside of bars and pubs. I do wish there was more of a coffee house culture or sometging where people congregates during the day and where it was acceptable to talk to strangers without being totally inebriated.
>life is too shitty to live it entirely sober
You mean your life.
