The dark side of the Moob

It's not unknown that alcohol contains calories. Lots of calories in fact. This is why regular pub frequenters often can be seen sporting rotund stomachs and moobs.

When a man starts to grow mammary glands something is wrong. Since giving up alcohol I can see a difference in my overall weight, including my chest. I used to have moobs, in fact at one stage I had a rather good rack, but fortunately cutting down the calories got rid of this. Just as well really. I don't think I would look right wearing a bra.

Another night of sober socialising, or soberlising as I now call it and going out doesn't get easier. Not drinking makes me feel a bit boring. I remember an episode of Friends with a character called Fun Bobby. He used to drink, and when he did he was funny. He gave up drinking and lost his humour. I fear I may have become Fun Bobby
