Well done. My husband and I quit drinking almost 4 years ago and it has changed our lives. My husband had health issues also. All of those things you mentioned did come true for us. We still like going to pubs etc with friends. We just drink something different. The atmosphere is still the same for us. And yea we have saved a ton of $$ and our health is so much better.

[@WilliamFluery]

Good luck with that…

[@Where_in_the_world_are_we_now]

It’s so great to see you looking so much healthier, Neill! Please keep up the good work on taking care of yourselves. 😇

[@catherineH4785]

When in SE Asia, my favourite drink was iced lemon tea. Not the pre-made canned stuff, but made by the shopkeeper. It is sweetened, but sometimes I was lucky enough to be able to get it with "little sugar".

[@mjmaillet879]

Happy to see you looking much better Neil…and Sarah, alcohol or not, you always have amazing skin. Cheers to you both!

[@tammylalang2056]

for the record, both of you clearly looked healthier than when you first came to Malaysia. This video shows you both look fit, healthy, rosy which shows alot in your complexion.. keep doing what you are doing. Love to see you both

[@MadeNCda]

Great to see you guys looking happy, healthy and relaxed.

[@aryan6536]

I stopped drinking for 7 years and last year I started last year. When I drink I drink four to five pints. I have stopped again but had half a pint of Madri few days ago and I am glad I did not have anymore. I do not think I will drink again and if I do then its only half a pint.

[@travelrefocused]

Hey guys. I completely understand what you are saying about the social aspect of drinking. I also enjoy every aspect of the brew. Whether it's the socialization, the pub atmosphere, the history, an appreciation of the craft that goes into it, or just the fact that it's tasty. With that said, I'm perfectly happy having a non alcoholic drink with you anywhere, anytime. BTW... I don't know if it's the lighting, the camera, or both but the quality of the footage looks fantastic. Carry on.

[@michellelkphoto1543]

Option C! Everything in moderation or as my dad says “a little bit of what you fancy does you good!”

[@lindadorman2869]

I never drank very much but as I get older, I find that I only drink on special occasions now - holidays, weddings, etc...I don't miss wine, beer or cocktails at all and when I do have a drink, it's really something quite celebratory!

[@lorriepatterson418]

Wow! Alcohol and caffeine! Congratulations. My husband and I did “dry January” and I’ve kept it going into February. We enjoyed beer drinking far too much in the last few of years and it shows up in several ways-definitely on our waistlines. We have also been doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting. I’ve lost 12 pounds and my husband 15lbs since January 12th(thanks to Dr. Berg’s channel). My husband has cheated quite a bit and still loses weight😜 . His blood pressure and cholesterol has decreased a good bit & my mental clarity and attitude have improved for the better😊. Like you, I’m looking at alcohol differently- more as a occasional treat than a nightly routine. Best wishes to you both. Love watching your channel❤

[@ovh992]

Start exercising and your well being will double!

[@maximac222]

Thank you for sharing! This is a profound vid! Alcohol has been part of our daily lives, especially every evening since we've been married. It's a social thing and a way to celebrate us and our day and it goes well with us cooking together. But as we've gotten older as well, we know we do not need to have martinis every other night. It never hurts to check yourself!

[@cori_in_the_pnw]

Bravo to you both! I find as I get older alcohol is less kind to me even in small amounts. So I have cut way back, which has helped both my wallet and my health. It would be wonderful if you came to Portland OR, my neck of the woods, and yes we have amazing craft beer here (although be prepared for a hefty price tag for a pint $10-12). Definitely take advantage of our daily happy hour culture (we love happy hour in the Pacific Northwest) which is usually from 15:00 to 18:00. Safe travels you two. Thanks for all the interesting videos.

[@laura_and_shanman]

Well done! Our life is very social and living in Minnesota USA we have a very craft beer scene and so many times we meet friends there. Love the 'intentional' habits and choosing wisely vs just drinking to drink. WELL DONE!

[@DD2015_FreshStart]

No caffeine, too! Are you mad? Kudos to both of you! Moving forward I think you'll definitely have a "cold one" on ridiculous hot days, but you'll cut down for sure. Delay, but not deny. Love how you referred back to your mission of living an intentional life. Personally, I don't buy ice cream. However, I love getting ice cream from a parlor, and that only happens on rare occasions. Sending positive vibes and healing prayers! Loved this video!

[@melhenline8438]

Moderation in all things. 🙂

[@user-Tortured-soul]

❤Stick with the no alcohol. Your meds cause a lot of added health issues Neil including insomnia.

[@regillusrtopazus3141]

Well done. I find a cold San Pellegrino or similar fizzy mineral water is a good way to enjoy company or a nice setting etc.. the fizz has you nursing it rather than guzzling. I used to live with someone who thought drinking a couple bottles of wine for dinner was some kind of badge of honor. I have just spent three months of travels in France and Italy and it takes a lot of will power to not have that accompanying glass (or bottle)with every meal. However, like you I want to keep the travel up for the long haul - I am waiting for you guys to amend your travel plans from the next ten to the next twenty plus years!

[@agasque]

Congratulations for making it through a month, particularly in that heat! I gave it a try as well in January - I made it with only 1 exception (when in Tequila, Mexico, I HAD to try the tequila!). Our grocery/eating out bills were quite a bit lighter and I lost a few pounds. But it was winter (aka, perfect weather) in Guadalajara and Mexico is filled with delicious juice drinks that made choosing them over alcohol very easy. With a couple of exceptions (enjoying time with old friends), I plan to keep it up (Levon is going to dabble rather than commit). I could NOT have cut out alcohol AND caffeine at the same time - you two are Olympians! We continue to cheer you both on as you get healthier and live your best intentional life!

[@zabbygee]

Indeed - come to Portland for our innovative craft beers - we would happily introduce you to some non-alcoholic alternatives too. We draw the line at giving up caffeine though :) Glad to hear you're feeling better Neil!

[@gordonhamnett1289]

"C"! And that is a great option and tie-in to "living and intentional life". Hope you are feeling better Neil!

[@timelston4260]

Good for you. I had a Heineken 0.0 (alcohol free) for the first time last night, and it had all the taste and quenching effect as real beer. Last month I also converted to Reed's non-alcoholic, zero calorie ginger beer, and it's been okay. I won't say I'll never drink again, but it started concerning me that I had worked into a healthy, low sugar, plant-based diet but was allowing myself regular alcohol, which all indications are that it is worse than sugar and meat. It didn't make sense to have healthy food but deadly drink. Best wishes to you for moderation going forward, and good health. Here's to being free, and smart in our freedom.

[@ryanbooth8421]

Well done guys. Proud of your efforts. I like your thought process about making drinking intentional/an occasion. Which reminds me, I might pop to the pub. 🤙

[@1965stockport]

Well done. You'd be surprised how low done the UK is in the list of beer consumption by capita

[@lindanz7578]

Congratulations, good effort and great you are not giving up alcohol completely, but enjoying it moderately. I enjoy wine occasionally now, and drink organic and sulphite free. I have found it is the sulphites in wine that causes me more issues. Great to see you both looking in excellent health with glowing skin.

[@kimberlylalley7255]

You both look great! Did you give up caffeine for good? Caffeine would be harder for me to give up than alcohol.

[@scottglave4181]

I live your thoughts about “intentional living”. Thanks for this!

[@scottglave4181]

“love”

[@michellelkphoto1543]

I drink maybe a glass every 4-5 months and I find when I decide to enjoy a glass it is great in the moment and then I get a migraine! Just not worth it anymore. BUT I am not giving up my PG Tips! Twice a day a good strong cuppa. “It’s the taste!”

[@lynn3051]

You both look good, Neil you especially look better 👏👏💗

[@intellectualgladiata]

We're beginning our own journey at the end of this year and I'm determined to be in the best shape possible to enjoy our retirement. After everybody went home after Christmas something just switched in my head that I need to lose weight and take back control of my health. Started with a 5 day fast and have been on one meal day since. Cut out alcohol and only eating quality foods and making sure I'm topping up crucial vitamins and minerals. Never felt better and have lost 17 kilos in nearly 2 months.

[@maryannmasnenka9217]

Congratulations to both of you, Bravo! Your skin definitely has a glow.

[@sharpshooterseven]

Good to see you looking so much better Neil... Well 30 days has gone by.. Lets see if you can hit another alcohol free 30 days.. Give it a go.. 👍👍

[@denniswhite1399]

My husband was a alcoholic years been a nightmare covid almost killed him so he didnt drink a year and he is so much better. the doctors gave him 2 weeks to live but now 18 months on hes healthier except he may be on oxygen tanks for life he hasnt had a drink of strong alcohol wine a small amount .

[@2GoRoam]

Hi Dennis, really sorry to hear what you have gone through but pleased all now on the right track. Thank you for sharing. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

[@heidibreckenridge9131]

Congratulations 🎊

[@jimrandall1739]

Well Done, 👍✌❤

[@shannonmann5501]

It looks like you have lost weight Neil! Well done for sticking with it for a month! All the best for your health

[@misterr279]

Hi guys, you never really touched on why you didn't return to Thailand, are you planning to or did something happen there?

[@paulwhitnall357]

I Think it would be much harder to completely lay off the beer while in Thailand lol

[@josephgreen2008]

You are looking much better Neil(Sarah always looks great). Good move on the booze. I know it's the Brit culture and it's not easy for us to even cut down, but look at ya! you are much better in health. Might not be down to the drinking but for sure it helps! Have a great weekend both.

[@darleneenglish5864]

We are Canadians now living in Belize. We just finished "Dry" January and now are in "Wet" February 😆😅 We now will only have a cocktail on the weekends. It is very easy to have "vacation mode" life style when living in a tropical place.

[@kennytancg]

Good. Both of you can still enjoy a glass or two once in a blue moon. I have bee abstaining from alcohol for the last 6 months

[@ovh992]

I am glad I was never a big drinker. I drink an average of once a month. (My doctor is always amazed when I tell him this!). I also don't drink coffee. The first thing you should drink when you wake up is a big glass of water. Much better for you!

[@reluctantlawyer517]

PDX can definitely present a challenge for limiting alcohol. But there are lots of good session beers to choose from so it is possible to enjoy the brewpubs without too much alcohol. I have been working on intentional eating and drinking for several years. I think of it as quality over quantity. Rather than mindlessly eating snacks or drinking alcohol, if I choose to snack or drink, I choose smaller quantities of really good quality food or drink. I find that I enjoy the experience more and consume less.

[@travelrefocused]

Great comment.I couldn't agree with this more.

[@comrade916]

I haven't had alcohol since mid November.. I was never a heavy drinker, but I did enjoy a glass or two of wine after work.. Nevertheless, I decided to cut out alcohol all together to assist me with some weight loss.. I have since lost approximately 15 kg.. I physically feel more fit and it's certainly noticeable walking up a staircase, etc.. At 184 cm and weight of 77 kgs, I feel good..Now, let's hope I can keep it this stable for the coming years!

[@henrysehgal658]

Good for yew

[@rustykatt3870]

U 2 are looking great! Congrats 🤗

[@andrewpymer8760]

Know what you mean about quality alcohol, which is why I got the blade machine. Sick of just drinking cans which tasted of nothing, and I now have less beer but better quality

[@nikkster01]

after a stern warning from the doctor I stopped opening wine bottles 5 years ago no big deal and if this guy had trouble and struggled with with no alcohol he has some real issues I cannot undestand why this is so difficult has it occurred to any Brit they have a massive ale centred culture ps do they realise Kalimantan and Terrenganu are dry state?

[@drthomason7043]

In the heat you dehydrate even if you do drink just water. Juices make you dehydrate just that little more. Alcohol is even more dehydrating so with the heat that's more, maybe drunkness lasts longer, so lucky you did drink those beers Well done

[@drthomason7043]

Hope we have vineyards left to make wines

[@shanmcdonough2933]

I was just watching your video of being in Turkey- was that place effected by the eq?

[@user-Tortured-soul]

❤We gave up alcohol years ago. Thank God we did. We stopped buying stuff and saved as much as we could into Isa’s . Those meds you are on are dangerous and even more so with alcohol. Our very fit Son age 51 is now in heart failure caused by an unhealthy life style and neglect from his GP. Take care and well done for moving to a healthier life style.

[@VKjk]

Try slowly cutting sugar as well 😬😝 You’ll see a vast difference in your health

[@amanshahosman9082]

The wet weather is over. Its going to be hot and dry till ..may/june I think. The sun will be right on top of us sometime in April.

[@iamtg1]

Hallo, have both of you try to do water fasting? Look it up it might help. 😎

[@2GoRoam]

We will :-)

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Western people drink a lot because it is a culture. The pubs are all over. The weather cold.

[@reveandrobl4906]

A great challenge guys. Here's too intentional drinking around the world 🤣 😂

[@matjebonklumen147]

Hot day + alcohol ?

[@dorothymoller566]

Good on you. I’m assuming you’ve also seen significant benefits in your heart health.

[@kenmackenzie102]

why didnt you drink 100 plus when it was the normal malaysian conditions, i never had water when i was in malaysia ,isotonic drinks helped me keep my hydration levels good ,in uk its expensive but i still buy it as a treat

[@mesebak]

It's Good Effort tho to Go without Alcohol...

[@magnasyst]

👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@woman5918]

Have you tried non alcoholic beer instead for those HOT days😉

[@toreditahrin3717]

You lived in Malaysia. I am sure you will noticed Muslim which is majority here dont consume alcohol. We proved we have a better live without alcohol. Hopefully your health get better and better

[@oysterpt2018]

Option C = cannabis ;)

[@fizabenwell9407]

I remembered during my uni years in Northumbria, all my coursemate mate are British, i join them in cafe to eat, but i always got dizzy bcoz of the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. Btw I'm Malaysian muslim.

[@Macedonia270]

Alcohol does not make anything better...it makes everything much, much worse....

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Do you drink a lot? A bit is OK but not a lot. I am like you cutting down beers and caffeine

[@MrAmizam]

You guys look great and losing some weight

[@paulfrancis8764]

Contents getting too dry folks, no pun intended.
