That's great, JenLov (and my feelings about it are the same as yours - not saying 'never' but not missing it). Day 193. |

I’m heading to ‘I’ve stopped drinking’ if people ask and a position where at the moment I cannot imagine having a drink again Today is day 149 and I’m not having a drink |

I think this is the first time I've even thought that there was even a possibility of a no drinking future, and as I said before, I'm still not 100% sure of this. But, this does mark a sort of transition in ways of thinking that were absent up to now. I've got a couple of (hopefully non serious) health things going on at the moment and I think that has affected my attitude to keeping as healthy as possible in the ways that I can.

Good spot G1nge. Today I tried Tesco pink grapefruit tonic. Not sure. A cautious thumbs down I think. Full marks for effort mind. |

Don't like grapefruit or tonic, so for that reason...

Re:St Peters. It was.... Interesting. I like it, but it's not particularly beer-like. I agree with the "heavy" comment: I think that's one of the reasons I liked it. I only drank 2. I have some more for this evening. Interestingly I woke up slightly dehydrated feeling like I'd had a couple of alcoholic pints. Will have to see if the same holds true tomorrow. |

Is it St Peters that comes in the quirky oval-shaped bottles?
