In the early days it was vodca realizing it caused me blackouts and embarrassment I turned to beer. Beer extended my drinking career. In the end it would do little for me and started to drink shots or cider as well as beer to get more of a buzz. I became very obese from drinking beer. Ate a meal every 2-3 hours. Since quitting I have lost 14kg in almost 6 months. Regardless of what I drank it was to excess I was a binge drinker.
