Raidernation Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Since stopping drinking alcohol I’ve lost about 2 stones, now a healthy(er) 12 and a bit. At 5’11” and over 50 I think that’s pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Being overly restrictive with food is a boring existence.I try and balance it.Go crazy now and again but I try and look after myself ‘cause the idea of having a stroke and being turned into a gibbering mess scares the shit out of me.

throbber Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 "Properly alcoholics are usually thin". I trust you and will batter on 'till I get to 13 stone. It’s true tbf, the likes of George Best, Amy Winehouse and Paul Gasgoine confirm this. If you just like the drink and that lifestyle you will likely be overweight but those who have proper drink problems usually aren’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 If you drink nothing but straight spirits and don't eat then yes, you will lose weight. Not really a healthy lifestyle choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Being a single man and still occasionally trying to get my hole, I can ill afford to let myself go. I'm 6' and weigh about 12 and a bit stone, I'm really unfit though as I do no exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Always had love handles, but when I was 20/21 I lost about 30lbs in 3 months, bringing my weight down to 10 1/2 stone. Felt absolutely brilliant, however it was pretty fucking hard to maintain and at this moment in time a couple years later I’m probably about 12 1/2 stone. Not I’m fat by stretch, pretty broad, but I’m not where I’d like to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 A policeman friend of mine once arrested an alcoholic who said that he drank two bottles of vodka and three bottles of cider a day and didn't eat anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be hard work getting the money to drink that much - how much is the cheapest litre of vodka, about £10? And a bottle of gut-rot cider is about £5, so that's £35 a day to be found for drink, £245 a week. I assume the guy wasn't working so he must've been thieving or something like that, all while absolutely cunted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a guy who was drinking 3 litres of vodka a day at his worst. I remember seeing him down about half a pint of it straight the morning he woke up after a party we were at, he was 38 at the time and died at the age of 47 but by f**k did he abuse his body.

Ross. Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Start of the year I was around 84kg, now down to around 80. Been going to the gym 2/3 times a week, go running sporadically and occasionally have a go at a few of the local Parkour courses. Diet could be better but has improved hugely in the last few years. I also drink far less, though still have a tendency to binge heavily when I do have a bevvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Why would stopping suddenly kill him? Just researched it & it’s very rare but possible. Apparently AWS can cause seizures that can result in death..... I’m cutting down slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
