Again i feel massive with that pump, disappointing when it goes away though. I’ve got a load of nights out x-mas dos this week so my recovery is going to suffer.
In my head i can go somewhere and only have 4-6 pints and be home by 11 sensibly but i know i’ll end up home at 4 after drinking all night to excess.
I wish i had more self control.
I’m not someone whose ever really drank excessively - except for my teen years… because teen years. I actually don’t like the way I feel when I’m drunk, or even buzzed tbh. Like a beer and a half in and I already feel off balance when standing.
I think something to ask yourself is “why do you feel the need to drink to excess”?
It’s usually a cope for something going on in your life that you just don’t want to deal with.
Dudes with battleax wives drink a lot.
Dudes with stressful jobs drink a lot too.
Dudes going through divorce drink a lot also.
What do they all have in common? They’re avoiding something.
Not saying this is you, but it’s often related. It’s not an addiction unless you cannot stop yourself from drinking; it sounds that you are just a social drinker. I imagine that cutting back on the social events would also cut back on how much you drink.
I had/have much of these issues with my relationship to food as well. I overeat/overate because it was a cope to make me feel better… even though I never felt better as a result.
I can delete this, if you want.
Nowadays this is my crazy night - I couldn’t survive this!

Ran out of time again on this legs day. Its probably the longest session in the gym on the programme and my shortest day i get in the week!
Off out for my works xmas do in half an hour or so.
Got in around 3:30 last night (this morning), it turns out i don’t have any self control.
Really need to sober up and train later.
This used to be me, now I just dont drink.
Snap! 10 years of not drinking, after the first few months you stop missing it and everyone around you gets used to the fact you don’t drink and stops asking about it.
Yep spot on, I find people accept it more when then know you just done drink, vs you saying you don’t feel like it or are only having a couple,
I guess I’ve created part of the problem as I’m known in my friendship groups as the big drinker, loves a big night out etc when in reality I don’t drink that often anymore but when I do it is a giant one.
If I’m honest, I wish I could stop drinking on the big nights but I just can’t see that working with my friendship groups and other English social situations (especially the rugby club). I had about 6 weeks on non drinking last year and got 6 weeks of grief off everyone including my wife who didn’t understand why I could just have a glass of wine together.
All excuses I know and it’s all in my gift but I also think life is too short not to relax (just wish I didn’t take it to excess).
My Thursday night ruined my diet and training even today!

X 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 used more and more body English as the sets went on.
Still overall loving creeping death 2. It’s so fun and yet so hard.
Just tell them all you have a liver problem and Dr says no more. 
I guess I’d ask:
Do you like feeling drunk?
Do you like feeling hungover?
If the answer to those questions is “no”, then I’d say that your answer could be as simple as “I realized i don’t like how it feels when I’m drunk”.
That’s my answer already and no one questions it - ever.
Another take on this is that your friends group doesn’t seem to be looking out for your best interests. Take that with a grain of salt; i have like 3 friends because I’ve cut everyone else out (that had a bad influence, purposeful or not).
Although not a big drinker (couple of years working the door on late night bars will do that) I’d normally get 2/3 big nights in a year till one in 2021 which floored me for 2/3 days. Don’t like being drunk, can be an arsehole. Hate feeling hungover and the poor diet/training after effects. Have a couple of drinks with dinner once a fortnight and I’m happy.
