Is anyone teetotal?

Those are dates which will indeed be better with alcohol in your system, and if I were you I would be drinking - but I would question whether you're doing it out of boredom half the time if your doing it most nights of the week. Having a big blow out once twice or a few times a month I think most people need, but to be going to the pub ever night would make me wonder if you've got other stuff to do at home/social/girlfriend and if you're dependent on your friends down the pub who are influencing you. If they suddenly quit drinking and started playing poker every night I'm sure you would too.
