I have the feeling I've been drinking too much recently, so I've decided to cut down for a while.
I don't think the alternation of "drinking too much" and "cutting it out completely" with each other is a good strategy -- "drinking moderately all the time" would be better. But I wasn't exactly doing that. I'm just back from a fairly alcoholic weekend in Eastbourne -- some of that RW crowd unfortunately take pride in how drunk they can get.
The next couple of months are tricky. There are already three dates in my diary that would normally involve serious drinking: a college feast (happens once every 15 years or so!), the RW Christmas social at Doggetts, and another RW social at Luton. But Christmas is coming up, there will be several other parties I'm sure, work-related, choir-related, various friends (Roger and Debra always give a good party, Paul and Gerry will, Andy and Jane probably will) ... oh and Scotty's 40th ....
I think the plan for the rest of the year has to be moderate drinking at "functions" and nothing in between. You heard it here first. Moderation in all things.
Stop sniggering at the back there!
