Feeling reflective this morning and got to thinking about how many drinks I would have had over the last 16 weeks had I not started TSM (based on my pre TSM average). This led me to think about how it would look if all the drinks I have avoided were lined up, which lead my to thinking about how much money I have saved. So here goes

My pre TSM levels were 65 per WK. I have been on the method 16 weeks, therefore had I not started TSM I would have drank at least 1040 units in the last 16 weeks.

I have actually drank 526 over the last 16 weeks so my total reduction is 514 units (was amazed by this, its worth doing this just to see how a few less units each weeks soon adds up to a lot more than you think.

Pre TSM my drinks of choice were premixed cans of Gin and Tonic (2.7 units per can), Pints of lager (2.5 units per pint) and 250ml glasses of wine (3 units. This next bit not exact but based on my Pre TSM drink choice patterns I reckon that the make up of the 514 units that I have not had would have been as follows

200 units/ Gin and Tonic
200 units/ lager
114 units/ glasses of wine

Therefore I have avoided drinking a grand total of........74 cans of Gin and Tonic, 80 pints of lager and 38 glasses of wine. Wow that feels good!

I also reckon that based on this I have saved myself at least £500 over the last 16 weeks.

I'd advise having a go at this exercise as it makes the unit calculations a bit more real.

Congratulations! That is a huge accomplishment. You have motivated me to do the calculations myself. Thank you!
