This weekend I did something I haven’t done in a loooongggg time.
I remained sober for the whole weekend. Which my body and bank account definitely needed.
Friday night was the work dinner and it went well, but like I said in my comments, a work mate who is now a very good friend is heavily pregnant and needed to get home so I offered to drive her. I was glad to leave early because the annoying American guy (see last post) spent the whole night trying to be set up with me thru a work mate (who knew I was not interested at all)
Alcohol Consumed: 1 Coroner
Saturday night a few of us girls went around to Kit’s* place for her to cook her specialty – lasagna and we had a few drinks before heading home for a, reasonably, early night.
Alcohol Consumed: 4 Vodka & Cranberry juices’
My body is definitely thanking me for not pouring copious amounts of alcohol in it. And with the next two months filled up with Weddings, Racing Carnivals, Engagement parties, Friends birthdays drinks’ and Hens Nights this will probably be the only weekend in a long time that I manage to be in a sober state!
When was the last time you went a whole weekend without getting drunk? I’m beginning to think maybe I ‘over indulge’ at times?

This weekend not a drop of alcohol, reason: feeling drained. This coming from a girl that believes everything can be fixed with Vodka and it's a real achievement to have 4 consecutive alcohol free days.
I had an absolutely alcohol-free weekend last weekend. First time in at least 10 years that I have not had a drink on a Fri, Sat and Sun.
Still felt like shit on Monday though...
Just read about your post on Multicutural Office.
I like the sounds of the Scottish Girl - "Pretty, skinny, tanned, big boobs" - they are my 4 requirements in a girl, except for the skinny part. In fact, as long as they are tanned and have big boobs, I'm in!
I'm a Nana, Del. I rarely drink and then it's usually a wine with dinner or a beer at the barbie. I just don't much like the taste of alcohol, though I must say vanilla vodka does go down well.
My man doesn't drink at all so I have really fallen out of the habit...
Miss Natalie: I agree - Vodka is the solution to all the worlds problems =)
Sufercam: It makes me feel better knowning you've been drinking every weekend for 10 years and are still alive and, seemingly, well.
So the tanned and big boobed girls would be the reason you are on the GC??
Ju: Sometimes I think you've got the right idea there, no hangovers etc. Vanilla Vodka...hmmm yum!!!
Let me see...
Vodka - check
Martinis - check
Vanilla Vodka - check
Overindulgence? No!
Last time a weekend alcohol free?
I think it was around April, 2003.
Graffiti
That doesn't sound like much fun at all! ;) I really need to try it soon... my weekend was filled w/ booze
I definitely over-indulge. Though I had three weekends that I remained sober in last year. Was tough, especially because I still went out with drunk friends...I wouldn't even allow myself a glass of wine.
And then in the summer of 2005, I went two months without a drop. Requirements of the South Beach Diet. But I was at home and not going out so that totally helped.
wish I could do the same. I have discovered Coopers Vintage.. a BEAUTIFUL amber drop!
Coopers Vintage is GREAT!!!
I can't believe that you denied your body the one thing it needs every March 17th...
Guinness.
Chickybabe - I like your way of thinking!!
Graffiti - WOW nearly 4 years of solid w/e drinking. I'm impressed
Single Guy - The w/e wasn't too bad without grog...but its always soooo much better with it
Wanderlusting - I sometimes think if I just cut our alcohol from my diet i'd loose the kg's by the minuet...but pft thats no fun!!
Simon - Thanks for the recommendation...I'll have to try it. Can you buy it from most liquor stores?
Stormin Mormon - I know!! Esp since my 'local' is one of the biggest Irish pubs in Sydney!!!! I've never tried Gusiness to be honest tho. But I've more than my fair share of pints in general =)
Del, yes I'm not too bad in the head. I forgot to mention most nights during the week too......
So when do we get to see pics of Scottish Girl?
I'm on the GC for many reasons, but that comes in on the list about No.8.
guinness - a steak in every pint!
Come on folks - there's more to this world than drinking. Surely it is not nessesary to get drunk to enjoy your weekend, or is life to much to handle?
Too much to handle! GAAAAH!
