Re: Thanks all for the comments on Alcohol
In my younger days I drank lots, it was a cultural thing, I didn't know any different. Then also as a mature student, and to a certain extant with some scuba diving friends.
Yet I have given it up for a year, easily, when I fasted. I put that down to the power of the fast in resetting your systems.
Seeing the fat around my waist increase when I drank several 4 can packs in a week has put me off drinking, at least until I lose enough weight. It also numbed my mind down, and basically wasted too much time.
So I think I will try and give up until I get to BMI 25, and after that maybe drink organic wine. Or maybe not that even. I'll see how I feel.
If I do drink beer I will keep a careful check, and maybe limit it to one day a week.
And in the future I can always do a fast just to reset things.
