My one-six pack-a-week challenge

Sunday afternoon is going to suck!

 

Curious how old are you?

 

I tried this once. It lasted one weekend...

 

I've cut back to three beers every two weeks , not really a problem , if it is , well you know

 

There must be a real sense of occasion at each bottle opening

 

Did not expect that.

Great work though. I know you think people were trolling you in the other thread that you created but I think there was some concern for your well-being there. Aside from the obvious benefits, you'll really start appreciating beer again.

 

Good for you if can cut back to 6pack a night to 6pack a week, that is a big delta.

I'm certainly more of a 6 to 12pack a week drinker with some flexibility if something special going on or I go out during the week for an event. But personally I would not rule out the occasional mix 6 pack, growler or special purchases for something I want to try. One benefit of drinking less is that I justify myself to spend a little more on what I do drink, but I also don't think beer has to be expensive to be enjoyed. I also don't finish the beer I buy the week I buy it - some weeks I might get stocked up on variety and then buy nothing for a few weeks as I work down the non cellar beer I have in fridge.

 

This sounds like a great plan!

 

Congrats on your choice! I have recently cut down on my consumption as well. My appreciation for the beer I drink has really gone up. Also, instead of going to the store for beers I've been drinking down my cellar and have been enjoying some of the great beers that I've collected over the last few years.

 

I would take it slow my dude. Cut back to a 12 pack per week. from a 6 pack a night, unless you were exagerating, is 42 beers a week. Going from 42 to 6... Ummmm thats bound not to work.

 

\I thought of it but I never actually tired it.

 

I wish I could do that. I am at about 1 bomber or 1 12oz a day except on weekends when it's 1 bomber and 1 12pack per Sat and Sun... I believe I will die soon of liver failure too

 

I've been cutting back too but its easier said then done.
Ones too many and 6 ain't enough.

 

wow, here I was thinking that having a beer per night was already on the higher end of the spectrum

 

Thanks! Good on you, a six pack a night is far too much. Is that every night week in and week out? You need to give your body a break. I am 49, usually have 3 or 4 a night on weekends with some occasional weekdays thrown in and worry that is too much.

 

I have instituted a rule for myself - one beer on a weeknight (M-Th) if and only if I went to the gym or did some sort of physical activity (walk, run, bike etc.). Weekends though, fair game to drink whatever. I find I am much more motivated to go to the gym if I reward myself with a beer after.

 

Modest? If my math is correct, it will be about 15% of what it was. What are you going to do with all of the extra money you will have?
