I've never understood the term "teetotal" as it implies that you only drink tea!     :shock:  
But in answer to your question, I do not drink alcohol.  :D

I haven't drunk alcohol for about 2 years.............
.............mainly cos i had a medical for a job where one of the blood tests gave a well screwed result on a CDT test, showing I drank over 40 units a week (used to drink about 10units).  The doctor didnt believe me and told me to admit my problem!!!!!

Since then haven't drunk at all, although the same doctor would prob still not believe me!

I am tee total now.

I don't think the tee in tee total refers to tea but rather totally not drinking alcohol.

Wasn't the tee total 'movement' started up North where they had some cafe where they served only soft drinks and the term tee total came from there? I beleive the cafe is still open but I have not yet found anything on the web.

Personally I'm fairly pleased not to drink as I used to get awful hang overs and it's nice to end each day totally compus mentis - well as good as I can manage.

Do others find you can get odd reactions at parties etc. when you say you don't drink? I don't care if you want to get rat arsed and I don't feel superior because I don't drink. I just woke up one day and no longer enjoyed beer nor (sob) G&T!

I find i get a mixed reaction,people who call me boring are normally drunk,and supprise supprise,in the morning when they find out how much they spent(just to [throw it] it down the loo)most say :i wish i was like you:
Serriously though,if you like a drink,fair enough,i just dont like the taste of any alcoholic drink.

So what soft drink is worth having in a pub? I usually end up on lemonade but how much of that can you drink without getting bloated?

I can have too much coke very quickly and it's only the full on coke that's worth drinking at all. I used to like Pepsi Max but Aspartemine (?) leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth the next day and has all sorts of alleged health issues.

Am I right that the profit margin on any tap soft drink is massive - far better than beer etc?

On balance I reckon you boozers get the better deal! There's not a lot wrong with good old Gin & Tonic - except the alcohol I guess.

I am very choosey about what I drink as I dont like fizzy beer.

I only drink hand pulled beer, good bottled bitter or the very occasional can of 'draught flow' bitter. Other than that I prefer a cup of coffee.

I also dont drink at home except maybe a glass or 2 of a good quality spirit or port at family bashes.

Post by: bezzabsa on October 01, 2006, 11:17:21
im the opposite - prefer to drink at home, then again at an average of £2.50 for a pint in a pub, and i can buy 8 cans of guinness for £6 then it makes perfect sense, dont usualy drink in the week due to driving for a living.
Also most people i know drink carling - if i have 1 can of that i spend more time 'getting rid of it' ;) than i do drinking it - funnily enough tho, if i drink the stronger lagers 6 - 9% i dont pee as much, and it dosnt seem to affect me as much either.
Just dont ask SWMBO about when i drank a bottle and half of whiskey.. :wink:
Also when i was younger I was a borderline alcoholic, used to do the drinking games to excess.. especialy with Vodka - start off with a single then work up to a 1/2 pint glass - and i NEVER lost!
For one of my birthdays i got brouht 3 bottles of vodka -and woke up having drunk them all, but could only find 2 empty bottles... soon decided that i was on a 1 way trip to an early grave and stopped drinking Vodka, stil cant touch the stuff now  :evil:

I discovered Chimay on the 16th of June 1990  :lol: I have tried trapist beer on many occasions and the variety of flavours are immense  :shock:  Including one that tastes like Vimto  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: I like going to belgium just for the beer  :lol: (and the waffles)

The best continental beer I have ever tasted was a place called the Wood House just outside of Erfurt in the old east germany. They brewed their Pilsner on the premises and they only sold 'light' and 'dark'. NOTHING else was sold not even lemonade. It was in the middle of a forest and it was a mile or so walk just to get to it :shock:

Something like 10,000% profit margin on the actual drink.  Costs about tuppence for the actual drink - a bit more with the ice and cleaning the glass.   OK, they've got to pay off a £20k postmix machine, but when you're pocketing £2.50 a glass of coke, that doesn't take long.

On the subject of soft drinks in pubs, going to MC meets or Suzuki meets at the pub, I tend to buy orange juice and lemonade. I don't really like Coke/Pepsi, etc. But only when you order a pint of orange juice and lemonade do you realise how cheap beer is ...... £2.50  :shock:  :shock: Mine lasts me all night!!!
