I barely even do that. I like alcohol during social times, but it has to be paired with good food. Food quality has gone so much overall, I don't see the point of going out to get anything to pair at home.

Sadly yes, I'm considering this when everything calms down.

I'm thinking about it. I've been quite overindulgent recently and I'm running a marathon in April so I really need to focus on my training for that. I also have hardly any social occasions in January but that can make me more tempted to drink because I love a solo couple of pints on a quiet weekend

I think I'll just have a mini detox in the New Year then see how I'm going. Might end up being more of a damp Jan than a dry one

I was talking to a guy in hospital who told me his friend beat the booze by being hypnotised into thinking water was gin!

That's how he got over his booze crave.

I drink very rarely and I don't binge drink so I feel like it would be pointless. I think it's a great idea for people who do drink though and I commend anyone who lasts the whole month!

I was amazed other day watching 2 different Asian people buy copious amounts of bottled water in Aldi. Do they not have taps?

Scottish tap water is the best water in the world
