    Since ive had an alcoholic drink. For the last 10 yrs or so i prob averaged about 8-10 light beers a night.(sometimes 18-20) 6 weeks ago i started having strange chest pains. Not really pains but tightness in the chest and back. Well, 4 weeks ago it was so strange couldnt sleep for two days and in a moment of clarity I asked myself "why do you do this, what is it doing for you". The only thing i could think of as far as the connection between the tightness in my chest and the beer was that it was thinning out my blood alot. I dont know if there was a connection, but i can tell you i havent had any tightness or strange feelings in my chest since. Anyway my friends and family dont know what to think about me not drinkin beer, but are proud at the same time.(i was prob more fun when i was drinkin beer) They keep askin if its perminant and i dont really know what to say. I end up tellin everyone that "im just seeing how long i can go". Thing is, its not hard on me at all. I dont have cravings,dont mind being around people that are drinkin and as far as i know , havent had withdrawls of any kind. theres a 12 pack of keystone in my fridge right now. I see it everytime i grab somethin and the thought never crosses my mind. Somehow i think i managed to either A) scare myself outta wanting to drink or B) somehow mentally turned myself off to the idea. I dunno its weird but i do feel kinda proud of myself. That is all

    Congrats. It sounds like you were just done with it. I'm glad the chest pains stopped. Good luck continuing to stay away from it.

    Good job guys. I don't drink enough to have a problem with quitting so I can't exactly know what you felt like but I do know what a horrible hangover and stomach pain a couple of bottles of jagr with friends brings

    You sound like you have my body type I am 6-0 and 182. I was just wondering about the beer every night thing it seems like it gave a few friends of mine this rock hard beer belly. Glad you were able to stop so easy are you working out or anything with your extra time?

    theres a 12 pack of keystone in my fridge right now. I see it everytime i grab somethin and the thought never crosses my mind.
    Is it really that hard to say no to Keystone?

    Congratulations on the sobriety. To your improved health.

    i play ball out in the street for an hour or so about 4 times a week
    i find its the best/most rewarding way to stay in shape
    neighbors prolly think im nuts though, runnin drills n

    That and it tastes like crap.
    IMO sharps is better, but only ice cold of course
    i havent had a sharps since i stopped,but pretty sure its .5% as well

    i know what you mean , only because so many people disagree with the notion that keystone light is the most tasty bev ever created

    seriously keystone every night since i was about 19
    never liked wine, liquor was always to much and it had to be light beer cause i liked to drink so many of them. if i drank 18 budwiesers in one night id be droppin chemical bombs for days
