If one drank 7 nights a week, I would agree but I am sure like a lot on here I have a few bevvies at the weekend, surely to go without for 4 or 5 weeks is a good thing, but don't let your sanctimonious attitude distract from a good campaign to raise money and give one's body a month of alcohol.
I'd say your comments say more about your own experiences with alcohol.

No. In the long run, it will literally do you no good whatsoever. Nothing sanctimonious about my attitude whatsoever. If not drinking for a few weeks is a challenge or a struggle, then you have a drinking problem.

No one said it would be - it is a marketing campaign to raise funds for a good cause and to incentivize people to quit alcohol for a month, your attitude suggests that you have deeper problems with alcohol either directly or indirectly, I would also disagree and suggest that anyone who drinks in whatever moderation would benefit from quitting for a month, it is no different than going off drink for lent, I suppose all those people have a drinking problem as well?
You're now contradicting yourself.
I never said everyone who does sober October or goes off it for Lent has a drinking problem. I said anyone who thinks this an achievement or finds it a challenge does.

I have a drink problem then. I go off it every November and usually in January again. I find it hard sitting in the house on a Saturday night with the feckin X factor on when i could be off down the local having the craic with the lads. Does anyone else think the further north you go in Ireland the more puritanical folk are when it comes to drink ?

Arguably if you cannot go out and socialise and have the craic without alcohol then perhaps Gallsman has a point.

I doubt that is what maddog said, he specifically mentioned going to the local for the craic, that implies he is going to the pub for a pint, I am sure when he is socialising on the bike or in other life situations he isn't pinting, I think though you have just proved maddogs point!

The "I don't need alcohol to enjoy myself" brigade are in fine voice. Going a month without alcohol is a doddle. Going months on end is as well (for me anyway) going out socialising and being the only sponge not drinking is not always that enjoyable and if you've an active social life and are a bit of a man about town then yes I would say sober October is an achievement.
If someone truly has an alcohol problem, going one day, never mind a month, without a drink is an achievement. Some prats on here

Who is getting high and mighty? Nobody has disputed that it isn't in aid of a good cause. Nobody has even specifically addressed the "Sober October" campaign since the first post. What instead is being discussed is people's relationship with alcohol. Try to keep up and understand what's going on before you accuse people of things. Few boys getting worked up because they apparently can't read.

I'm delighted that it went seven pages. Some great recommendations for whiskey off the back of it. However I fail to see the relevance of the fact that I occasionally drink and enjoy whiskey to my ability to assert that anyone who can't go a few weeks off the drink without suffering has an issue with alcohol. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure I ever claimed to be teetotal. Even if I did (I didn't), I certainly wouldn't claim that this in any way made me better or superior.

Your first post made that assertion when you make all sorts of conclusions in your head and climbed on your moral high horse to berate anyone who might try to give up alcohol for a period of time to raise money for a good cause. And it most certainly was a sanctimonious statement you were making.

I never said everyone who does sober October or goes off it for Lent has a drinking problem. I said anyone who thinks this an achievement or finds it a challenge does.
That might be me then - I would actually find it a challenge as I generally reward myself with a glass or two of wine on a Friday or Saturday night (sometimes both - eek!), and it would be like going off chocolate or crisps to go off wine. My body doesn't need it and I don't sit and get sloshed in the house, but I do see it as a treat and to deny myself will be challenging.
Plus if I don't drink when I'm out socially, everyone will ask if I'm pregnant.

No, it didn't. It merely made a comment about whether giving up alcohol for four weeks is in any way an achievement. It didn't mention "the good cause" at all.

It was the second post on this thread - who said it was an achievement at that stage, you obviously just thought your were being a wise guy coming out with sanctimonious drivel, as I mentioned you obviously have an issue with your relationship with alcohol, I doubt if it was give up sugar for a month or cake, or do 10 minutes exercise a day you would have come out with such putrid drivel.

Now you're just spouting utter gibberish.
Sanctimonious? I'd look up the meaning of the word before I level that accusation if I were you.
You were called out for trying to be a dick end off.
Some lads stupidly confuse 'need' with 'like', especially where booze is concerned. Some people like a beer or on a Saturday/Friday/Tuesday... night. It just might be difficult to give it up for 4 weeks in a row. Nothing to do with a 'need' for alcohol, just because that's what they like to do. Some people like going to the gym on a Saturday morning. Have they got a problem if they found that difficult to give up for a month? I'm sorry gallsman, but your post is a load of shoite.
Yes, some people do confuse "need" with "like", hence I specifically referred to people who struggle to do it or find it a challenge. So no, my post isn't a load of "shoite". Ironically, your post attempting to draw an equivalence with going to the gym is.

I love stout, I am not going to drink during October, if I do it will be my last because if I can't do without for a month I have an issue with alcohol and I do not need that.

I don't get involved much in these things gallsman but it would appear that you tend to court controversy. How come everyone in these three pages has issue with your stance?
just reading back over the thread and it speaks to a culture that revolves around alcohol.... It's an Irish and UK think - the soaps revolve around a pub, the craic with the lads can only be had in the pub and you have to be drinking or you're a sponge or pregnant and we can't be having that...
I would imagine gallsman you were moving away from this kind of lifestyle when you lived at home and now even more so since you moved away?
I'll agree that the cause is a good one if you raise awareness and take money away from the pubs and off licenses and get it to someone who needs it. But I'll agree with gallsman if its a struggle to go without then there is the beginnings of a problem
Few boys here need to drink more.

Thats maybe after Diz carried him out of the harps club. These things happen.
I don't think anyone actually considers it a real "Struggle" in the true sense of the word. It's just a gimmicky way to raise awareness and to raise some money, not much different from the Ice bucket challenge (Or what was that other one that you had to pledge money to??). I don't think anyone that does it is actually sitting there thinking how hard it is? Because the reality is that there's nothing wrong with going to the pub every Saturday for a couple of drinks, so cutting it out is no big deal.

Some people might find it a challenge to give up things they like doing for a month. That's the equivalence and that's the end of it. Anything else relating to alcoholism is hyperbole.

I guess that would mean zero alcohol then Farr. I often miss it when I'm off it(which is most of the time), then I go back for a few and find I was missing nothing really.
Had a few at the weekend and definitely felt dumber at work yesterday. If it had been busy I'd have been in trouble.
The bottom line is that for the vast majority of us, giving up drink is no big deal. The problem is that when you give it up, and your drinking partners don't, you start to become conscious of how loud they become and how daft they get, as the night goes on and that's what the barrier to giving up alcohol really is

Zero alcohol is right. I know I'm not missing out on anything but seldom enough when I do go out, being surrounded by drunks kinda makes me wish I could join in the 'fun'. If you all know what I mean.

Ha! Nope, not for me. I have epilepsy. Sometimes I do miss drinking. However, I am getting on rightly without it. And it does annoy me having to tell everyone my condition, when anyone asks me why.
I guess that would mean zero alcohol then Farr. I often miss it when I'm off it(which is most of the time), then I go back for a few and find I was missing nothing really.
Had a few at the weekend and definitely felt dumber at work yesterday. If it had been busy I'd have been in trouble.
Zero alcohol is right. I know I'm not missing out on anything but seldom enough when I do go out, being surrounded by drunks kinda makes me wish I could join in the 'fun'. If you all know what I mean.
If I'm driving I enjoy the night more if I take non-alcoholic beer. If you get a decent one like Erdinger blue you still feel like you're having a few and not missing out.

Few boys here need to drink more.

Is that gear any good for horsing the big heavy one out the back?
Why not give money to the charity and drink responsibly ? I'll do neither

If you go to the US it isn't October yet.
This is easy, no bother at all.

I love stout
Claimed to me you didn't drink at all.
I never took a drink for nearly five years and am thinking about going off it again for good, three thirty for a pint is a good reason to do so in my opinion!
I am trying to get for, I was speaking to bennydorano last week and he is 100 percent right in what he said, ' the drink and the bike don't mix stew'
For me it is simple, I want to be healthier, I want to go on foreign holidays with my mates, I can easily afford that if I quit drinking beer.
You are a sanctimonious git talisman, you really, really are.
Wife has suggested going to cinema as I'm off the drink. Strongly thinking of going back on it. The thoughts of watching a film whilst listening to dozens of others eating popcorn and rustling plastic crisp and sweet bags would drive me to drink
Heard this one is hilarious...

Hoping to catch The Passion of St Tibulus
There's a greedy cnut just after walking into cinema with a gallon carton of coke a hundredweight of popcorn and a 3 pint carton of ice cream. The film is 2 hours long But he'll still have his work cut out to get that guzzled before it's over

Great story. I read Hhh by Laurent Binet and have also seen Operation Daybreak a previous dramatisation of Heydrich's assassination.
I very seldom go to the pictures and was wondering if this is a film worth going to see or shall I wait for the dvd?
How did Movie Recommendations get into Sober for October?!
Ziggy as a rule I try to get to the cinema for "spectacular" films where you need the big screen to appreciate it. I would presume something like this would be fine at home.
That's what I was thinking Tony, cheers.
