That’s pretty impressive that you went on as a vegetarian for 2.5 weeks, I know… I personally would not be able to do the vegetarian gig. Although… what I would say…. is when you eat at home… do the vegetarian deal… but if you are eating at a friends house… or you are at a special place…. be more flexible there, hehe.

Till then,

Jean

I'm with you, simonandcole - I don't think I'd ever stop drinking but I don't think I have a problem, either. The BF doesn't really drink so he'd tell me if I was going off the deep end! Honey´s last blog post...Social Artistry at Its Finest

Nice work, it's definitely not easy to go that long without alcohol if you are a big drinker. And "dangerous territory" is a dumb thing to say since you have no idea what Lance's life is really like, Hammer. It's not difficult to understand what it must be like to not be an alcoholic but really want to booze anyhow..... simonandcole´s last blog post...Who’s B.S. Now?? by Simon

While i've never given up alchohol for a long period of time completely... I can totally agree that now that I've limited my drinking to one or two times per month, I have much less desire for it... and am more aware of what a poison it really is. As for the vegetarianism.. i been a fish and egg eating vegetarian for almost 10 years and don't really feel much of a difference with energy levels.. And i can totally agree with all the points you made about eating out getting boring... but after several months i've just sort of forgot to even consider meat as an option. By the way.... i'm real interested in hearing the Megan story.. when is it coming? Bobby Rio´s last blog post...Five Steps to Growing a Beard

I have a great set of friends, they bring me a lot of value, they love to party, so a night out with them involves multiple rounds of shots and many beers getting passed around. They also happen to be big trash talkers. It takes energy to deflect all that trash talking. I don't want to give the impression that my pals are idiots who are holding me down, because they certainly aren't. Lance´s last blog post...Takeways from Vegetarian and No-Alcohol Experiments

Polyana, thanks for stopping by! I live with two meat eaters and I travel with a sports team where the catered meals are all meat dishes, so it was tough. Basically, everything is set up for meat eating and you have to go out of your way to NOT eat it. Lance´s last blog post...Takeways from Vegetarian and No-Alcohol Experiments

I'm not a heavy drinker, but I do enjoy a cocktail or beer at the end of the day. When I'm training hard for a race or something, I'll quit drinking for a week. Like Lance says, it leaches the toxins out of the body, and I suddenly find I don't want any drink at all. Of course, one Manhattan later, and I'm fine with my cocktails again. dadshouse´s last blog post...Father Son Manfest - Peloton of Two

When I go out with friends, I rarely have more than one or two, although they are usually top shelf things. When I stay at home, I like beer, although again I only have one or two because if I drink more than that, it’s hell getting up the next day.

I have never smoked pot in a large group…I do it at home sometimes before I go to bed so I don’t lie awake obsessing about PeopleSoft for three hours, but that’s pretty much it.

I was a big partier when I was younger, drank A LOT (though I did not smoke at all then) and experimented with some other things. In the end, it just wasn’t my style.

Your right Lance, a lot has to do with the people you choose to associate with, and call your friends. Personally, I would hate to think that my so called friends don't particularly care for my company if I don't engage in drinking along with them. What the hell is that? I also find it hard to engage with people often who cannot seem to have a good time unless they are drunk or stoned to do it. They clearly have no value in themselves, their friends, or their life. Just sayin. searchingw;ithin´s last blog post...Writer's Block
