From the summer of 2001 to February 2016 I gained roughly 100 pounds by drinking 18-33 cans of beer a day. Me who had always been a lean person and had taken great pride in that. Now I've whittled that 100 down by half with very little effort aside from stopping the beer. Good progress but still a ways to go.
So I encourage you, tonib! Stay sober and you'll get to like what you see in the mirror again. Show alcohol who's boss.
