Cheap alcohol expensive consequences!

Christmas in the UK Christmas Stella and litre bottles of famous grouse whiskey for £16.

I looked at it on the shelves but resisted. Every time I have bought a litre of whiskey for £16 it has led to impulsive loss of money loss of days at work loss of self respect and extreme anxiety.

cheap alcohol expensive consequences. Determined to stay off alcohol.

Yes, I ended up on cheap vodka at the end. It about did me in. And the consequences were costly. To my health. Mental and physical.

Good for you for not buying it.

Keep it up, Highercall!

I, too, by the end of my drinking career was willing to spend quarters that I'd saved for laundry on the cheapest high-percentage beer/malt liquor I could purchase discreetly. What a devoted slave I was!

Thankfully we know we don't have to do that anymore

Yeah the Retail cost is immaterial really - the real cost of alcohol is astronomical to drinkers like us.

Good Call HC

When I quit, I was drinking cheap beer and cheap vodka....not for lack of funds,but I didn't really see the point in buying 'name brand' if I only had one goal in mind and was drinking it alone.
