Not even an option. If I have to give up the football and beer completely I might as well dig a 6ft deep hole and jump in now. I might try whisky and see how that goes,,but when I drink it at home I just have it with ice only and im not that big on it,,i still have half a bottle there from xmas.. I can go out over the course of a day and drink 10 pints and not even get to wasted as I am so used to it,, whisky on the other hand 3 or 4 and I would be starting to roll. Can't imagine drinking it over the course of a whole day. Would be best finding out what lagers are better than others. If pale lager is better then i assume the likes of Guiness is worse,,although I always thought it was better for you due to its Iron content.
Still its only once or twice a month max and I will follow it up that week by beasting myself in the gym and going for a 8-10 mile run. I kind of see it as my cheat day right now and after all the work outs I do always feels like a reward.
At least i have calmed things down from when I was in the RAF ,,at Buchan we would be out Thur/Fri/Sat nights 5pm - 3am,, Sun and Mon was NAAFI for the football and tues/wed NAAFI for champions lg,, god only knows what my levels might have been after that 2 yr posting
