Out with my school chums - known them all over 50 years. Drank only 0% Guinness and my friend who had his heart operation too was drinking zero cider. It's actually quite interesting as I suggested that I'd not been great these past 4 years and they too felt this. We don't do things as often as we used to. We stay at home more than go out now and we all sort of agreed that we weren't feeling "quite right" can't put your finger on it but not quite right.
I've planned to limit drinking right down now hence no actual alcohol last night at all. The newer versions of 0% beer are OK and fill in nicely - you don't actually need to sauce yourself up to enjoy a good time.
I'll be having a few beers in mid August when we are away but other than that, I am going to essentially go dry and cut out the beers and give my body a rest. Since lock-down I've been constantly having one or two beers in an evening and frankly it can't be doing me any good. I haven't had any beers now since last Friday and I only had those as I'd been working on my daughter's house in these high temperatures and came home, bought a six pack, had a shower and sat in the garden, with my neck fan on, enjoying some music and beers.
That's where I'll miss it I guess as that's when I associate one with the other.
I have to say that a long chat about our ailments and our various drinking habits (or not) has made me feel a lot better today, better than I have felt for a while. That's good, I just need more of the same. What I certainly don't need is the traffic App saying the road was clear when, in fact, it was totally closed last night Grrr. I had to drive quite a way out of my way to get there and back! Oh and pay the bloody ULEZ charge - I was probably only 500 yards into the zone!
