Okay, not really "cut out" so much as "cut down significantly". Like, I'll have one when I go out with friends at night or something (which is generally once a week), but that's pretty much it. No drinking when I'm home alone and no binge drinking when I go out. I'm doing this to lose weight and to generally just be healthier. My problem is that I'm bored to tears half of the time! It's okay during the day when I'm doing other things and can find stuff to do... but I live by myself and I'm alone at night. Even if I tried to make plans with other people, my friends are generally "drinking buddies". Well, at least the ones who live close enough to me and who don't have 9-5 jobs. I'm sick of video games, TV and movies are starting to loose their appeal, and bored eating would be counterproductive to what I'm trying to do in the first place. This sucks! I'll catch myself going, "Gee, I'm bored. I'll have a martini and... NO NO NO!" On the other hand, my apartment is cleaner than it has been in a long time, lol.

Yea, I've been cooking more food than I need (to experiment). I even made jars of JAM to give away, for crying out loud (I even read for hours about the proper way to sanitize a jar for canning)! I've been spending more time just standing in the shower just to pass time, lol. I actually made that bacon vodka (it will be ready in about two weeks), too.
