So I've been told I can't drink alcohol anymore. Ever ever again. I was virtually teetotal anyway so I'm not too bothered.

I'm actually in a pub right now with a pint of lime and lemonade feeling virtuous.

Checking out the menu for curiosity and they got a burger called The King Alf! Alf are you here? You are famous. Xx

If you had to give up something forever what would you prefer it to be? Would you find it easy?

I'd give up strapping a hot air balloon to each limb and flying above the South Pole.

Health comes first, and tbh if I had to give up alcohol aswell..then yes it might take some getting use to . But I don't actually drink much these days anyway :shrug:.

Usually it's either special occasions, or its once or twice a week max .

I'd find it hard if I was told that I couldn't eat Crisps anymore.

I also don't drink. But there are a lot of non alcoholic drinks that are really good.
So if I fancy a drink I go for the zero alcohol option.

My kidneys will pack in. I have had 2 spells in hospital already.

I have chronic kidney disease, so I've chosen not to drink. I don't really miss it, to be honest.
It's coffee I can't do without :laugh:

Sorry to hear that Kate…and Vanessa.

Tbh I always have a glass of wine in the evening and I would miss it…however I would replace it with something else if my health was at serious risk…so until I’m told otherwise :laugh:

Is it just the bevvy, or is there other things you cant have?

I've been told to eliminate as much sugar as possible from my diet. I'm borderline diabetic. I've been following an eating plan (Keto) and its really helpful.

You can still have a small gin and slim line then on an evening if you lay of other stuff through the day..

I could give up alcohol if I wanted if it was my choice. I think it would be different if I was told I that I wasn't allowed to drink, think that makes it so much more difficult.
