Going off alcohol

fancythat

I have done the same with meat.
Only eat about half of what I used to.

I presume it is an age thing.

Like you fancythat l have gone off meat will tolerate chicken and fish just about but still enjoy a small glass of white wine! Naughty girl!!

I haven’t gone off alcohol but it no longer features in whatever routine I happen to be following as a matter of course - if that makes sense.

When DH was alive (but not on chemo) we shared a bottle of wine most nights. Now, I’m reluctant to drink alone, but I might have a red or white with the DDs - maybe 2 glasses in a week. Of course, on holiday, it’s totally different and back to frequent stops for refreshment and wine with our evening meal. I don’t drink beer or lager and rarely touch spirits.

Maybe it's something to do with taste changing? I'm finding some sweets and chocolate just too sweet but find acidic things just too unpleasant. I must be narrowing down to a smaller range of likes. I do enjoy fruity drinks so all is not lost.

I have not drunk at all since I was about 30. It just made me sick!

I love alcohol and am certainly not going off it. For me best enjoyed with friends and even better with friends, family at an outside occasion. Love champagne, prosecco, crémant, red wine G'nT , most cocktails, so I'm not a cheap date

The only time I couldn’t abide alcohol was when I was pregnant. I assume not the case for you Aveline!
At first I didn’t know I was pregnant, but I couldn’t even be in a room where alcohol was being served.
I do like a nice chilled white or Rose.

I'm with UTBB. I don't drink much but like a glass of rosé or two while cooking.

My husband has stopped having wine with dinner now. He just doesn’t fancy it. I still like a glass but if we have a bottle it ends up getting chucked after a couple of days . Sometimes I can use the rest in sauces etc but not always. I think your body tells you what it wants for health !

Only occasional half glass of wine now and DH on non alcoholic beer. Definitely an age thing with him I was never much of a drinker anyway.

I know someone who can no longer eat as much fruit and veg[dont ask what it does to her].
She is quite elderly.

I told her I think her body has had enough of it. It has reached it's limit of the amount of fruit and veg.it can take.

That's my opinion.

I must be bucking the trend.
Although ,when off colour I do go off alcohol but thankfully that is not often.
I love a Cocktail, G&T, red wine, white wine, malt whiskey and brandy, fortunately not all on the same night.
I was out for a celebratory meal last night and had a Cocktail on arrival, a glass of Rioja with my steak and an Espresso Martini to finish off the evening, all really enjoyed.

Yes me too. I do enjoy a cold zero alcohol Guinness in the hot weather sitting in the garden in the evening. But very rarely drink anything else....and I used to enjoy a G&T, red wine, white wine and champagne/prosecco/cava. Years ago a martini or cinzano, whisky and soda, brandy and soda and with coffee a cointreau or grand marnier.

How my life has changed. Not drunk any of those for years. Never mind I did enjoy them.

I enjoy a glass of red wine - especially with some foods - but that’s about the only thing I drink regularly. When I’m out, I drink tonic water and even at home will mostly eschew the gin and just have the tonic. Never drink beer now, though I used to really enjoy a glass of Stella or Guinness. With me, I think it stems from not having anyone to enjoy a drink with anymore.

Phew. It's not just me then.

Same here Aveline! I used to enjoy a glass of white wine at around 6pm, and the occasional glass of Prosecco if out for a meal but I’ve completely gone off it as well.

I had a small glass of Prosecco on Christmas Day and that was the last time alcohol passed my lips! Another of life’s little pleasures gone!😅

I always enjoyed a glass of wine while cooking dinner, then another after dinner. But I never think about it anymore, not even sure when I last drank any alcohol!

Never been much of a drinker but loved a port and lemon. Enjoyed a occasional glass of wine but like you nit fussed now.
