Twenty One days of Temperance

[Glibbidy]

My wife is doing a three week cleanse and I decided to give up alcohol for three weeks. As of June 1st I'm on my anti-bender. The only alcohol I have had are samples from my fermentation vessels while racking beer.
Only nine days of abstinence left !
I'm still brewing my tail off to reach maximum capapcity in the brewery.

Very cool (the lots and lots of brewing)(not the abstinance). I have done this on occation, just stopped drinking for a week or two. Its amazing how much weight you can lose when you dont drink 2-3pints a day lol

Good for you! My wife and I have cut back on beer consumption to help get back in shape but we haven't stopped drinking completely. We were recently on vacation and drank a lot! I find that I sleep better and remember my dreams more clearly if I don't drink.

Presently I have 10 gallons in primary, ~20 gallons in secondary, and almost 1BBL on tap (6 cornies). 10 more gallons of pilz to be brewed this weekend.
I think I have a brewing problem.
I'm also on my bicycle now 75-100 miles a week now. I'm definitely sleeping better!

I don't know whether or not to alcohol-fast leading up to NHBC or to prime leading up to it. Either way, it's going to be crazy.

+1000...I sleep so much better if I don't drink

That's because when you drink, you are living the dream.

With the stress of my job hitting me ten-fold in the last 2 weeks, it's become a visious cycle. I think I've done really well with not drinking as much as i would have imagioned, because it just adds to my stress. My last 12 pack I bought has lasted me 8 days and I still 2-3 left. I'm proud of myself

The funniest part about that is Ray asked me represent his bewery at a beer festival in Greenfield on the 21st!
I have already agreed to be the deisgnated driver, so I'll plan on taking it easy unitl I get home.

Glibiddy - I admire your willpower! I know that I *could* make it that long without beer, but thankfully I don't have to!

Chef - I'd go with the 'prime leading up to it' option. I'm expecting to have to exert a great deal of moderation on club night so that I'm not serving beers whilst falling over.

Lunch on Saturday is going to be interesting to say the least!

Dammit, how did I miss that! That's a romantic way for the wife and I to celebrate our 5th anniversary, isn't it? **** the Vietnamese food, let's go get drunk on McNeill's!

Perfect way to fall off the wagon!
