Not sure really. I'm can usually go most of the week without a beer, though when I get to the weekend I tend to put a few away. Especially if its an Albion Saturday. But then maybe a lot of people are like that?

Plus, I like to get out and socialize during the weekend, so that generally involves being in a pub/bar.

It just I'm not great with hangovers these days.

If you can more or less go sun-thu without having any you're doing alright.

That's awesome.

Did you just jack everything else in? Or start off part time?

Good luck. The grass is definitely greener where you're going.
