Am I the only one doing Dry January?

[PSRB]

What?s dry January ?

Lucky if I do Dry Monday

It's also why we created the free party scene and free festies.

Yep. British people do not enjoy being told how, when and where they are allowed to get ****ed up.

My 7th day today, so far not too hard. Plan is to go to our local bar and have a couple of Perriers on Friday night.

If I make it through that I should be ok.

Does it change your drinking post January at all, Herb? Did you start drinking less the rest of the time?

don't have any kind of problem so you slacken off on your weekday abstinence regime. I used to be strict Fri, Sat & Sun but I now usually persuade myself Thursday is perfectly acceptable for the weekend to start. I do however, stick to beer these days. Most of the alcoholics I know arrived at their addiction through wine.

Why would you want to bin alcohol during the most depressing month of the year.....and yes, I'm very grumpy. No

Did you actually wake up on Jan 1 and say to yourself that you were going to do Dry Jan, and then folded before the day was out, P?

Or did you just wake up and think 'sod it, not for me'?

That's not what I wanted to hear, Herb

I've actually found it pretty easy so far. My master plan was that if I did find Dry Jan easy, that going forward I would stop drinking at home Mon-Fri and drink as usual at the weekend.

I reckon that would be 30-40 % reduction in my alcohol intake with at least 3 days a week dry.

The Eurotrash certainly has incredible discipline. I blame Napoleon.
