...how can I go a whole evening without drinking slightly too much alcohol, and still feel happy?

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, i dont think you can...

[4getmenot]

do you mean a night night out like the pub, its hard but if you are a happy go lucky person anyway its not too bad. No-one needs drink to be happy.

[sg]

Sadly, I mean a night when I am not in the pub, not having a dinner, not with anyone else, but am at home watching tv alone.

[MrBen5]

Ahh, if your at home feeling unhappy, put a Trigger Happy DVD on or just go on online poker. The amount of things you can do are endless. Humoron.com is another decent website if your sad. It should cheer you up. Stick to drinking at weekends and get totally drunk then...

You could buy a guitar and a 'teach yourself' book and start learning. I practice whenever I'm on my own with nothing else to do and it makes me happy.

Do you have alot to drink when at home on your home? Do you have a problem?

Could you call an old friend for a well overdue chat? Or wrap up warm and go for a long walk (but not on your own if it's dark). Write an old friend a letter. Anything to take your mind off drinking.
Do you have a favourite CD you could pop on? Throw on your PJ's, some big fluffy socks, grab your hairbrush and sing away. If ever I am feeling a bit low putting in Madonna's True Blue album and singing at the top of my voice always makes me smile again. I look like a div, but it works. x

You are all right, I could do all those things and some I already do - whilst knocking down a bottle of wine to make it more fun!

[4getmenot]

it can get boring when no-ones about cant it, I have to always be doing something while I watch tv, usually a nag aswell or play games on my phone.

[sg]

thanks all, and good night, I'm not depressed, I drink because I can, but I envy those who don't feel the urge.

[4getmenot]

didnt mean a nag aswell :-) I meant to put mag :-) Enjoy your evening and your wine :-)

[ummmm]

Theres nothing wrong with having a drink in the evening unless you need to. If you don't need a drink but just want one then thats ok. I think.

[snagged]

go to sleep...

To anyone who replied to this,
well this week end I had no money, not even enough for a single can of beer. The result was I did not drink alcohol all week end. I was bored, frustrated, went out walking, watched tv, read a book, tried to kill time, all the time I was gagging to guzzle down a big glass of red/white, anything - but couldn't.
Today I feel great, I woke up really happy, content, full of energy and feeling healthy.

Pay day tomorrow though, what will happen?


thanks
