Is anyone teetotal?

[Kezzieboy]

I did the opposite of Sam, did my gap year and first year of Uni drinking a f*ck-tonne, my tolerance got worryingly high for someone of my build and I reckon I'd lost well over 24 hours from memory loss. Then started dating my girlfriend, who is a muslim, and consequently teetotal, and have hardly got drunk since. I realised I was mostly doing it for confidence, and no longer needed the dutch courage thanks to her.

I still absolutely love ale though, and will have a bottle probably every other night, but only ever one bottle. Occasionally on a night out I'll have two or three pints, but just because I like the taste and really don't like fizzy drinks. I feel like I'm mugging off the pub if I only drink water

Anyway, moral of the story is limit yourself to one if your drinking it for the taste, and you'll realise you don't need (or probably even enjoy) the sensation of being drunk. It's got to the point where if I have 2 pints I start to feel a bit tipsy and will then switch to water to sober up. Never thought I'd say that 2 years ago!
