Is anyone interested? Sure way to lose weight and save some money. Try it!

For those that have seen big weight loss or other benefits from going dry, how much were you drinking before you stopped? Most of the time I’m a fairly moderate drinker - have a drink maybe 2-3 nights/week on average, and usually only 1 or 2 drinks, maybe 3-4 once every week or two. I’ve never reall…

I had a year off once, did I feel any better? nope… moderation is the key, have over indulged over the xmas / new years break so settling back into more moderate drinking now I’m back at work :slight_smile:

I’ve been battling with insomnia for a while so I’m trying to cut out anything that could interfere with sleep, even though I don’t consume large amounts of caffeine, and keep consumption to prior to midday. I figure I might as well give it a shot though!

One thing I think that’s different between me and most in this thread is I don’t really drink beer. Maybe once or twice a year.

I was drinking 2-4 pints of 7%+ IPAs daily, with 6 pints on the weekend days. Last year, I cut down to a beer every other day and did TR base and build for 6 months or so with a couple big rides. I went from 205lb to 195lb. I’m old and not a racer, just a dude trying to get/stay in shape.

Just had a blood clot, so I’m dry for 6 months. Can’t drink on blood thinners.
