    I hadn't had a drop of alcohol for 5 years. No I didn't have a problem, nothing bad happened, no DWI anything like that.

    Alcoholism ran on my dads side of the family, I was always afraid it would get me, so I wanted to break the cycle so I quit.

    So starting in January, after over two years of my fiancé bugging me, I share a bottle of wine with her. Glad I did. Always enjoyed good wine, but was so worried I'd turn into something I despised.

    Maybe I'm just older and hopefully a little wiser, but I can actually enjoy a glass without wanting excess and getting wasted


    Anyway, point of this was to ask what is the longest you went without drinking? Stories if any?

    Lame. You try to hard to be funny.

    Anyways, I don't really drink often and when I do I hardly know what to drink since I am not much a beer guy. I do enjoy a nice wine like mentioned though.

    Since I came to college? Probably 5 days. I rarely drank in high school then all of the sudden I go to school and every night my friends and I go out to the bars or to house parties.

    In all seriousness. Me too. They say alcoholism is only broken every other generation, unless someone like you takes a stand. me, I don't know. still strong job dating girls who drink more than me. single. no family. it is a problem. not for work though, so maybe i need to realize i could be better. like batman jones did.

    i do know one thing. i pissed of Clutch on purpose while i was drinking and wanting to show my girlfriend i could give up cfnet for her...as a new years resolution to her. I waited 5 days for something to happen for me to do harikari, and then Doc Rocket showed up on January 5th, with his annoying crap that I know annoys Clutch. Yes, hey gf watch me get banned as proof of my love/resolution to you.

    stupid.

    clutch is more important than a gf. what?

    Probably between 6-12 months. I'm not a big drinker. I just don't feel the need. I last had alcohol on New Years Even when I had some champagne. The only problem is that when people offer me a drink and I decline, they assume I'm an alcoholic.

    Funny when you decline, people automatically think the worst. I've had a second job in a bar for nine years, and when people wanted to buy me a drink and I told them I don't drink, their response was always, what happened or how can you not drink working in a bar? It's rather easy, after years of watching alcohol be a large contributor in fights, infedelity or just people being plain stupid it was easy.

    This year, since New Years or 365 days? couple of pounds?

    Well, I can say 10yrs for pot. Not to say there is anything wrong it, just I gave up pot because I can't mix. So chose alcohol over pot.

    what?

    maybe I'm wrong.

    I was drinking new years eve, but have not drank since new years. I always mix alcohol & pot, I think reason being I've NEVER had a hangover.

    Yeah I smoke like a chimeny, 3-5 blunts a day. Is that bad? Haha
