I used to drink a reasonable amount a couple most days and a binge on a Friday night, but in November 2018, i caught Bacterial Meningitis, and was in a coma for 12 days on a ventilator, and after 10 days they wanted to switch it off, But my wife fought to keep it on, they said if i survived i would have serious brain damage, yes, i can hear the jokes coming already, but after 18 months recovery, i am not in a bad shape, have lots of medication to take, which means strictly no Alcohol, but i still enjoy going out for a meal or a drink at my local, i drink Heineken 0.0 or Tanquary Gin 0.0, i can't get Guiness 0.0 but have tasted it and i can't tell the difference, a friend who works for Guinness sent me 8 cans, also i have a mate that has a rural pub in Eire and has Heineken 0.0 on draught, which he drinks and says the draught is the same as the normal, PS Guiness 0.0 sales have overtaken the normal Guiness.

Thank you, i drink tea, decaff coffee or water at home, i did miss the social side, and my wife likes a VAT, so i have a couple of 0.0s on a friday, i used to watch the games in a bar, but now watch at home, too much temptation.

Alcohol is like sugar. Once you stop taking it for a while, you don't miss it. The trick is to start not taking it. Both are super addictive and well done to anyone who has conquered them.
