Russian standard vodka.
Very nice; beats Smirnoff.
I think I'd like to become a vodka officionado.

I went 6 months last year and was the best thing I ever did. Now maybe only drink once a week if that. Saved loads of money, sleep better and feel more alert during the day. Do eet. |

As usual our resident hipster is just trying to be down with the kids: m.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25652991T4AP will be spinning on his bar stool reading this. If you are knocking it on the head Jonesy can 1863 have first dibs on all the booze you've got left? |

It's only a temporary measure (23rd jan is my target), receiving a bottle of Cognac yesterday hasn't helped my cause either. And my sleep is fucking shit since abstaining. |

I'm a bit weird.
I haven't had dry night since Oct 2013 (when I got back from Afghan) not one.
Weekdays I'm a good boy, bottle to bottle and a half of red and a nice tot of whiskey just to make sure I sleep, weekends I'm horrific, lots of Stella and lots of whisky, around a litre a weekend.
On the flipside, I eat ridiculously healthily, I don't mean low calorie/fat, I mean well balanced. I also run at least twice a week and do weights 3-4 times a week, as such, from the outside, I look like I'm in pretty much the best shape of my life, despite hitting 40 this year.
Having a decent fitness regime has always been my excuse for getting away with the booze, I was still in great shape, however, I realise my liver is probably near falling over, so am attempting to make a change.
All evidence suggests that if you were a consistently heavy drinker, going cold Turkey is far less likely to succeed than cutting down so that is the plan.
Last night was my first night as today was my first day at work. I had half a bottle of red. I slept on and off in what felt like around 20 minute stints whilst soaking the bed in sweat, it felt like cold turkey!!
Hoping tonight goes a little easier!

Was worth a try. I'm more of a binge drinker myself. Generally I'll have 3 or 4 bottles a week at home and a few doubles.
Then I'll go hell for leather now and again. I've found that doesn't work well when you're regularly dehydrated, which I am due to cardio at the gym 5 days a week, I'm trying to work on that myself. Had a right episode one night after a day in Chester on it, thought I was going to have a heart attack and the palms of my hands and soles of my feet wouldn't stop itching. Next thing I'm projecting liquid from every orifice. No fun. Make a point of no gym the day of a binge now and plenty of water the day before.
Apparently the reaction is your body flooding your stomach with histamine to rid it of the self inflicted poison.

That's a fuck load of booze you're packing there shiny! Fully aware mate, hence realising the need for change. Just realised it was Oct 2012 I got back from Afghan, I forget how long I've been out of the mob. Have managed to eek out my half bottle of red tonight from ten til now in the hope I'll be more tired (watched a couple of homelands I needed to catch up on) Gonna attempt to read in bed for half hour to make me fully fucked, fingers crossed for more sleep than last night |
