I went without booze for nine months last year. I don't know what came over me! The daft thing was, it didn't make me feel any better!

The reason I did it was that I found myself getting home at around 9.30 in the evening, sitting down with a book and a bottle of red, reading until I went to bed at 12.30 - having drunk the bottle. Every night. I began to think that this might not be a good thing. I'm much more sensible about it all now, but it's surprisingly easy to drink a whole bottle of wine over the course of three relaxing hours.

Good luck with the no-booze drive!
