Hello Army !!!
I panicked there earlier and no-one was here to ask :upset:
So I posed my question to the undies but I would really like to ask the same advice here :

Need advice on how to deal with a 2 day Irish wedding coming up on the 24th August folks ! Away in a hotel.
Really do not know what to do
I could have wine with meal & that's that ! or I can continually give excuses as to why I am not drinking. I have already been doing that for past 40 days and it seems my family are watching when I will be back on 'the jar' and be Satzy again !
Just that the WHOLE two days will revolve around pubs & music and late nights. There is little else to do.
This is one I cannot get out of
I tell yiz I'm scared __________________

I am sorry to say that in some areas of Dublin now is a place where it is felt that it is 'OK' to go out in pajamas
'Nuff said !

Yo Satz, runs half way round the world come back a bit dizzy and I think this is the bestest so far.

Going to go with Rggie's # 2
Don't drink enjoy ya self wake up clear headed happy and ready for a strong brew of coffee while you watch the other lot wake up to needless self induced suffering!!!!

or
1: moderate yer self to a couple of glasses of wine and be in agony all weekend waiting for the next time you can have one or two glasses.

2: Don't bother drinking at all. It's amazing after the initial 'Gawd I would wrestle you to the ground for that drink feeling' soon passes.

3: Get a good book if they start getting too much go to bed. Box of chox. good book and shite on the TV does it for me every time.

Thanks JC :l - I think you are right. If it was just one day/night I'd be fine but 2 will be a challenge :sigh:

When I was with the bikers last weekend a couple of them quizzed me bout not drinking - a firm but polite no - as in I don't want to discuss it sufficed.
Started this bout an hour ago so uve all prolly moved on - anyway my tuppence worth :-)

Very true - Molls ! I can take refuge in the room on & off !
:upset: is this what i've come to ?
I know I CAN go & have 2 glasses of wine with dinner etc without going crazy on the grog. But you know the REAL reason I now do not want to go back on it is - the gym - believe it or not. I have a food diary on all AL is banned - not joking !
God it really PISSES me off to have to go / do something I really do not want to do !!
I said I'd go for one night but that was shot down & I was TOLD I had to go 2 nights as everyone else was going 2 nights.:argh:

:hallo:

Just woke up after an unplanned nanna nap.

The cubs want 'chicken soldiers' & chips for dinner. At least the packet indicates that it's made from breast meat. One sometimes wonders what the ingredients of these processed foods are.

Hiya Troopers!!

Satz, I agree with what Jackie and Molly say - easier to not drink at all than trying to stick to two glasses and then counting the hours til the next night. I have what I think is a pretty good reason that I use when asked why I'm not drinking AL. I just say that I'd rather eat extra calories than drink them and then stick to carbonated water or a sugar-free lemon soda. No one ever questions me. The fact that you're working out would make it an even more sensible reason why you're not having AL. Some folk here use the excuse that they're on medication but here that would lead to others asking what was wrong with you, etc., etc. The extra calories part seems to do the trick.

We are officially on holidays til a week from Monday. Not planning to go anywhere, just to the beaches around here and eating out several times which means we can just relax and I get a bit of a break from the kitchen.

:wavin: to all of those in the barracks and to any who drop by later.

Has anyone heard from Starty lately? Seems to me it's been a long time since she posted.

And where the heck is Panda-man today?

Long weekend here, Molls - yesterday was a public holiday and I took leave today.

I only buy mince from specific outlets where I know what I'm getting. As much as I love food, I generally don't like working with raw meat. No problem consuming it when cooked, though :H. Speaking of which - I'm craving kebabs and flatbread from the Lebanese place nearby.
