In recent months I've noticed a few changes following excessive consumption of these fermented vegetable products - none of them too pleasant so I decided to abstain for a while. Partly for health reasons, partly because I was becoming a twat on the sauce, and partly to see if I could.
The hardest bit has been the weekends when a cold beer to relax in a nice setting would have gone down a treat. Blended carrot juice just doesn't hit the spot the same way.
There have been a couple of observations I've made during this little experiment:
1) I have trouble sleeping and am now going to bed later and getting up earlier. I guess the body needs that alcohol fueled daze to make it shut down properly!
2) Physical activities are easier, no more getting tired as fast and doing a workout is actually quite easy now that there are no more toxins floating around in my blood stream.
3) You enjoy seeing other people with a hangover and begin to forget what it actually feels like!
4) All people in general are complete twats after a few brews.
5) Your senses improve, especially the ones relating to smell and beer.
I've added a little poll as it may be interesting to see the drinking habits of others - of course you hardened beer monsters can vote anonymously!
Roll on Thursday!
