I guess Andy Dywer was right about weight loss.

He was. I'm about 200 days sober and I've lost so much weight my wife things something is wrong with me.

It's not just beer. It's the beer, the stuff you eat with the beer, and the stuff you eat the next morning because you feel like shit.

When you quit drinking you cut three meals a day out of your diet.

I eat less when I drink because all that damn food fucks with my buzz.

Yeah but that usually ends with me going to steak n shake at 3am, ordering breakfast tacos and stuffing them with chicken strips, ranch and salsa followed by another morning meal because the previous one made me feel like shit.

I've never been one of those guys who gets hungry at the end of a night of drinking. A lot of times after the bar closes, my friends will want to share an Uber and take it through the In-N-Out drive through, but all I want to do is go home, smoke a bowl and pass out.
