Currently I have been 28 days without alcohol only drinking on one of those days (I went to a beer festival and got drunk last fri) mostly as a health kick but also to make sure I could.I hate the idea of being dependent on something because of weak will power, so I go on sprees of non drinking, but I like the taste and the effect so I will probably always drink unless something medically makes it dramatically more unsafe. Hey it sounds like I'm really negative on drinking, I'm not its an amazing thing in my opinion especially when shared with friends with moderate amounts, you just need to remember one thing know your limits don't try and drink what everyone else is don't try and keep up, take a break with something none alcoholic if you feel yourself going and pace yourself. -----------To the OP diversion definitely infact I go on none drinking sprees to make sure its not a need and to make sure my will power is still good.</blockquote>
