Default Dry January
Are you doing it? Have you ever done it?

I'm sort of doing it this year until I go skiing for a few days on the 19th when I'll pause it

One week down and I am enjoying a Moretti Zero with the football this evening. I never thought I'd do it before but had started cutting down on drinking towards the end of last year anyway so I'm not missing it yet, still early days though

Anyone also have any good recommendations for non alcoholic beers the Moretti is okay but has a bit of a funny aftertaste

I did make plans to stay dry until the first game of rugby in the 6 nations.

But my local team had a big game today to stay top of div 2.

The wheels are off...

No. January (after my birthday) is a depressing-enough month as it is.

Might be less depressing if you're healthier at the end of it

Good stuff

Veganuary is certainly one bridge I would not cross, although I am trying to have less red meat

My son was definitely not having it and too much hassle to cook 2 different meals every night so we are just healthy eating

Good luck with it

I have been massively cutting down on drink for over a year or so now anyway, I don't completely avoid it . But when I drink .... it's just occasionally .

Lucky you having your own.

I've been peering through windows all week at bottle after bottle, each one saying, "just smash the window and save me"

Nearly did it twice...but stayed proffesional.

I realise I didn't have a drink over the holidays, my OH only had a couple of beers, as I recall. I might have January off the Ketamine.

Would normally go to the pub for a couple Sunday afternoon - today I have cleaned by bathroom and rearranged my cupboard of excess carrier bags

Least I am now rewarding myself with a can of Lucky Saint which is a very nice alcohol free beer
