Anyone tried it? I'm 46 now and have been drinking a twelve pack a day for fifteen years plus. Able to stay in shape because I work on my own farm. Never missed a beat, just wondering what it's like to be a sober baw these days and is it worth it?

I like working all day outside then imbibing. Doc says liver is fine.

It might be time for you to slow down before your liver does. Beat him to the punch.

You're a small timer compared to the last guy that was drinking 12-16 16 ounce cans a day.

Seems like you're doing alright. What's your reason for wanting to quit Bill?

I drank about a 12 pack of tall boys for more than 15 years and my liver and kidneys are fine. So is my Glucose.

I have recently weaned off. I now only drink that much 1 or 2 days a week. The rest of the days are dry or two to three beers.

ETA: The key to weaning off, is to eat your meals at strategic times. After you eat a big meal, you dont feel like drinking.

I quit for a year once just to do it. It was something to do. When I started back I didn't and still don't drink as much. Worth trying.

It's hard to stop once you go that far. Up until a month ago I had been drinking anywhere from 1/2-2 pints 5-7 days a week for the last 5 years (since I turned 21 actually). I'm down to drinking about 2 times a week, but it isn't easy to wean off. I was feeling pretty fricking shitty for a while, got the sweats and the shakes and all that. Not fun at all. Never plan on going back to that, weed is the way to go. Might just stop drinking all together, except for things like LSU football games.

A 12 pack a day for 15 years is equal to 5 miles of beer cans stacked end to end!! (65,700 cans)

i don't doubt you can hold your own but who really counts how many beers they drink after a certain age?

I did that shite as a teenager and up until I was like 23 maybe?

You're going to need to be under medical supervision when you quit or youll probably have delirium tremens which can kill you.

But since you're still boozin, what's the weirdest/worst thing you've ever done drunk
