I'd be more concerned about not being able to just have 2-4 drinks, than not having gone 2.5 weeks without one. And surely sipping on some scotch and club soda is sufficient to thrive in a social context, otherwise I'd suggest hanging out with different people.

I'm not worried about peer pressure to drink more, just about potential dates where I would explain why I'm not drinking, but whatever.

2162 cal...close, but no cigar. No booze either.

2019 cal without booze. 2019 cal if you add all the booze I didn't have.

1630 cal, you best believe there was no booze...but I did get a call from a female friend who wanted me to come out and have drinks with her...I had to decline. Because...get money. Or really, keep money. Which is the same as...get money.

Can't you propose an alternative that doesn't involve booze?

NB. I personally can't, but I am a borderline alcoholic.

She wasn't down, and I was already sitting around in my underwear, I wasn't trying to leave to not drink.

This wager has made me realize I'm a total alcoholic. I literally have a tough time figuring out activities to do without drinking. It's patheti-sad. But I'm not worried, because I'll feel much better about it when I start drinking again.

Yeah, I'm basically the same.

Yes, I am one fat loser, that's true. JonFon has been paid in full. I had a Bumble date tonight, with a chick who turned out to be pretty awesome/attractive...and...I just felt like it would be really hard to describe the bet without looking like a total alcoholic or gambler or both...so, I went with the flow, and the flow dictated I lose $100 tonight, which one must accept in the game of life.

Anyone following with any disappointment...I feel you, I'm disappointed in myself too. It's a constant feeling for me. But hey, at least you didn't lose any money. You should have bet some, I feel like that would have made me more likely to keep it up. At the same time, I'm not sure I could have made that work. Anyway........that's a sentence I shouldn't have started because I can't finish it.

I used to drink a lot. I still do, but I used to too.

Stolen jokes aside I stopped drinking when I committed myself to getting ripped. You can't drink and exercise so the drinking left. It's been years and I can't imagine going back to it.

A six pack lasts 2 months in my fridge now.

All about finding the alternative that prevents drinking if that is your goal.

I was going to get up early and go to the gym this morning.

So last night I got drunk instead.
