Anyone else feel like every day is a Saturday? All you could hear was the bottles going in when the recycling lorry came round this week.
The shelves were empty again tonight.

I like a drink or three. Cut down to Wednesdays, Friday and Saturday, not good for the health
My neighbour is brilliant, keeps a small hammer on top of his brown bin, smashes the bottles so he can get more in. Buys old Rosie by the case from Amazon, brilliant when they are filling the garage up, a sight too see lol. Also the Rose wine that his Mrs sups, probably a couple of bottles of wine a night and at least 6 or 7 ciders. I can hear him smashing the bottles into the bin and often sit there counting them, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9 regular
There is a difference though like you say, at the moment he is smashing them in at around 11am in the morning after they have fallen asleep in the garden the night before
I was in the garden the other morning, came out with a couple of bottles of old Rosie, do you want one pal, no, bit early for me John lol

One glass a day for the French they say, mind you though, knowing the French that will be a thimble
Easy done pal, I used to do that and a case of Carlsberg a week, £10.99 at the time, bargain lol
Maybe ease off it a few nights a week, Doc once told me you need two clear days without alcohol. I know this because I had a friend who owned an Italian restraunt, used to buy my wine off him, to cut a long story short I got a load of fizzy stuff off him one Christmas, few cases and drunk the lot, went for a routine blood test in the January, Sulphates through the roof! ???, couldn't think why until I read the bottles, caution, high in sulphates
I Like a drink, find it relaxing but longer term, not good for the health unfortunately pal

I quit drinking 6 years ago, if the current situation doesn't tip me off the wagon nothing will, so far so good, thank God for alcohol free beers

Strange old thing alcohol, it affects some peoples health and mental in different ways.
I'm currently enjoying alcohol every evening but not so much It makes me feel groggy in the morning, Whether that's sustainable I don't know but if it shortens my life a little I'm ok with that, rather go a bit early and happy rather than old, decrepit and need to be looked after.

Bottle of Malbec every night for me...... 
I'd typically have a beer or two probably 4-5 nights of the week but I've only had one beer since this whole lock down started! bit backward really!

It's been a vice of mine most of my life even in periods of extreme fitness i still drank a bit but predominately on a social scale when I was younger. Still like a drink but I have eased off massively, probably average a bottle of wine a week and say 4 bottles of decent ale on average, try to keep to the 14 units. I have been T total along the way for long periods and got down to a couple of bottles a week but hey, what the hell, you have to live. Must say I find having a beer very relaxing
Not good for the health though long term, higher volumes, aim for the 14 units is my advise, plus you need that gap between it, that's the key

I never understand that, alcohol free beers
Unless you are driving and fancy the taste of a beer?
I would just have a beer 🍺
Or is it a calorie thing?
In the past we used to go out in cars with my mates, used to hate driving when it was my turn, everybody pissed having a good time and a riot and me stood there sober, just felt out of place!

It's just does me on those occasions where I fancy a beer as a quencher of when socializing it's better than coke or orange juice

Fair play. Coke and juice is a rip off anyway at pub prices for me
So you are T total then Chuffy? If so, good on you
Can't see me ever drinking alcohol free beer, saying that the last one I had was Caliber, years ago, horrible stuff
I used to drink green tea when I was not drinking lol

Yeah T-Total now, I used to love drinking mind since my teenager days, got to the point where I felt like I'd completed it
Caliber is horrific, there's some proper ones now like Adnams etc
