Window cleaners and drinking alcohol
« on: September 18, 2017, 05:35:08 pm »
Evening chaps,

5 months ago I decided to stop drinking and lose a bit of weight. Mainly because I was almost 21 stone and the 1000 calories in beer a night I was having a night weren't helping,

Today I was speaking to another window cleaner and he commented that I'd lost quite a bit of weight (4 stone nearly), and asked how I'd done it. I told him that I'd just cut out the booze. His response was "how can you be a windy and not drink".

5 months ago I'd have agreed but obviously I don't anymore lol. Are there any other window cleaners on here who are teetotal? I know Tosh, Trippy and Frank are but is there anyone else?

Im not T Total but im not a heavy nor a big drinker and the other shiner you was speaking to sounds a great guy.
By his reckoning i guess all shiners must be tracksuit wearing, fAg in hand window cleaners 😂😂

Once a month i have a window round near a tobys carvery and i have my lunch there (well my only meal in day as its quite large) and I wash it down with a beer. Then for the rest of the month very little apart from perhaps one or two nights in a month a little tipple of whiskey.  By that i mean an 18yr bottle of laphroaig, which i have a single, neat and drink it slowly. But to show how little, one bottle would last a year or longer.

So not T total but quite a rare drinker

Not T total or anything against alcohol but i just dont drink much of it at all.

I might buy a 4 pack of couple of times a month, if that to be honest its probably less, and even at that r lass would have half of them ..i can go weeks if not months without drinking any... generally dont drink at all.

No health reason or anything, just not something i fancy that much.

If i have some in the fridge ill drink them, if not it rarely crosses my mind.

I don't drink at all - haven't for four years or so. Then again I never was any good at it.

I have a pint on the weekend, maybe two if i'm feeling reckless but that's about it. Never drink during the week. I used to drink a lot when i was younger but as i aged i found my recovery times were getting longer. It's one thing nursing a hangover when you've got a cushy office job but doing something physical like window cleaning is a different proposition.  Dont miss it at all.
