Do You Plan Breaks From Alcohol?

[Paleman]

If beer didnt taste so good, we wouldnt have this debate.

Heres a tip that gets me through, when i feel i need a day or two off.

Grab a six pack of Birrell, or very low alcohol beer.........have a few, and enjoy the malt and hops without the alcohol.

Call that your AFD.

It doesnt work for everyone, but for me as a beer tasting lover.......it works. :chug:

I love beer, for beer........i cant drink any other alcoholic beverage.

Beer is King !! :beerbang:

Yesterday I planed to have a break for drinking for the rest of the week. Last night was my first night of this plan. It went very well as I only had one 330ml stubbie. I was so impressed with my result that I had another one to celebrate.

I once had a seven year break from alcohol.

Fortunately, I saw the light, and have almost caught up now h34r:

I always have the best plans to produce a low alcohol batch but somehow it never happens. Maybe I'll drink twice as much next time I brew so I forget to put in half the ingredients.

Usually monday and tuesday are AFD's If you want to continue drikning into old age I think 2 AFD's a week is recomended by those who know about this stuff.

howdy folks,

normally I dont join discussions like this, it does not lead to a honky-dory conclusion.

But I made some thoughts about my own position:

You all here talk about alcohol only, but Im a beer drinker, nothing else.
Yes Im addicted to drink beer, but only beer, nothing else.

If once Im not at home and there is only beer available that not taste well to me, then I dont drink any beer at all and that means I dont drink any alcoholic stuff instead as well.

Since about 30years, I drink my beer almost every day ("almost" means, I must be very sick not to drink) and Im not suffering any kind of abnormality in my health.

If I like to drink beer only and dont accept any other alcoholic stuff instead, what kind of junkie am I?
Am I an alcoholic if I decline to drink alcoholic stuff others than beer?
and if so, than I have and I like to live with that, its a kind of live quality to me.

There is only one thing I like more than drinking beer, thats brewing beer, but it doesnt happen as often as I drink beer.

Enough about myself, everyone has to choose hes own way.

This post made me thirsty, Ive to go to my bar fridge to pour another beer.

Cheers

What !!! Its not real !!!

I'm devasted Kai....at least i can rely on Easter Bunny this year.

I'm with you Zwickel, i drink alcohol ( beer ) because i enjoy the taste, in fact i love beer. At times i drink too much. at times i have a break. Youve got to draw the line, somewhere, and determine wether the amount you drink is unhealthy, and if you are in fact an alcoholic.

Its up to the individual. It scares me to think i may be drinking too much, as i know a young lad of 26, who in fact has shot his liver through alcoholism. Its not pretty.

If you feel your body needs a rest, have one. Beer will always be around while you do, its not going away.
