    I don't think you're that bad.

  • It's a terrible idea for all the reasons given by RideOnTime. I normally try to up my alcohol intake in January. My challenge for 2015 is to perfect the bloody mary.
    If you must have a month off the booze, why not March? Or August? Stupid health Nazis...

    January is the easiest month to give up alcohol, it's the other 11 that are tough :D

    Last year I couldn't believe how hard friends found it not to drink for a month. In one case the person's idea of 'dry' was only drinking at weekends. I like a drink and often drink more than I should but I regularly manage a month without drinking. I sometimes feel like I'm somehow abnormal for this. It's actually quite worrying how drinking at home most / every night has become the norm.

    Right, that's enough serious stuff. I need a few drinks to relax!

    Might give up for lent again. Last time I did it almost became addictive not to drink, in a funny sort of way.

    Going dry for a month or so is a good way to lose weight.

    I'm giving this some serious consideration as I slurp my double G&T :)

    I'm not sure that boat would be the place to give up. Beer goggles required.

    Day to day is no struggle for me at all (I don't tend to drink much in the week anyway), what makes me nervous is the work Xmas/NY party and a cycle group gathering as a bit of Dutch courage tends to help me come out of my shell a bit

    I ve resolved to stop looking at fb for the month too

    I'm only doing it to see what happens really...

    Guy I know is demanding money to go to charidee for doing this.

    His decision to do it. My decision not to pay.

    Principally because he is tee total. :?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Maybe he caught the clap from one of those fine party guests?
