Curiousity got me, what prompted the 28 day thing?

 

I haven't drank much lately and decided on some Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss to celebrate my buddies birthday.

 

X2, why not keep it going?

I'm almost positive it's been well over 28 days since I had a beer. I'm not much of a drinker, but Miller Lite is fine for me.

 

I am getting more sensitive to the carbs in beer as I age, both in gaining weight, and in zapping my strength. I thinnk I have a sensitivity to the carbs and what it does to my blood sugar..can't really explain it. I just feel better when I don't drink that much these days....that does not mean I don't like to drink some beer every now and then!!!!!

I also did not drink during October and November during last years hunting season and I felt great.

 

Cool. It's fuuny how much more "in tune" we get with our bodies as we get older.

 

I'm betting I haven't drank more than 6 beers in the past 3 months. I'm more active than I've ever been in my life (physically). And, I just don't have the craving for beer that I used to have.

I haven't missed it one bit. Not in the least.

 

Good for you Jeff. I am starting to feel the same way. I don't really crave beer these days. But some days it is nice to have a few cold ones, like today for me.

A little more than a month ago I went out with my college frat brothers for a couple of days. The drank me under the table, I just couldn't do it. Many of them still dipped tobacco and offered me some...I haven't chewed for over a year. They were still drinking it up good, I was a lightweight!

How is the chewin tobacco thing going for you?

COOL Josh. Well I had a few tonight and am watching some damn show on Grizzly's. LOL, I am getting old.

 

I don't drink any more, but I don't drink any less either. :D

You guys are just wusses, you aren't old.

 

Sam adams summer ale is a good choice this time of year.

 

i got in to some trouble on feb. 17 and quit drinking cuz of it, havent drank since then, but there are alot of days were i think "damn its a nice day to sit on the deck and drink a few", so i try to keep busy, but man would i like a beer

 

For this time of year, I might recommend a nice saison/farmhouse ale. A couple of my favorites:

 

My favorite tasting beer.

 

Depends on the mood, if you are looking for a quaffer, then a shock top or a pale ale - if you are only drinking one or two, then something heavier like a sam adams or a boddingtons. Personally I prefer brown ales over anything and make it my life's goal to try as many different ones as possible...

 

since you've been on hiatus for a month, you need a decadent beer, something so over the top, rich in flavor and high in calorie/alcohol... I have a few suggestions

Flying Dog Horn Dog barley wine style ale (about 10%)
Goose Island Bourbon County Stout (like 13% ABV and super rich in chocolate/vanilla flavors)
Dogfishead 90 minute IPA (simply one of the best beers in America, period, comes in about 9%)
Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter (about 7%)
Great Lakes Blackout Stout (a nice chocolaty imperial stout at about 10%)

any of those will do the job
