I'm interested in the AFD side of things. Is it health or guilt or SWMBO pressure (not that any of those are bad)? Or is it part of the pressure of the current political regime that considers more than three/four drinks (iirc) at a time to be 'binge drinking'?
I did an alcohol free month some years ago. Two Crownies and I was anybody's and wasn't fit to drive. A mate of mine takes January off every year, just to prove to himself that he isn't an alcoholic (he's not - four pints a night isn't an alcoholic).
