FlyerTon Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 If you like a drink, but want to lose weight, feel better in the morning and also save some cash, why not give up booze for a month? Ideal to lose the festive excess as well. Do you think you can manage it? Campaign on the link below: http://www.dryjanuary.org.uk/ Edit to add: poll is above.

Grim O'Grady Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I was going to do it but had committed myself to doing the P&B pub crawl on the 2nd of Jan. Do'h! Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Why do people see the need to sign up for these things? Is it the desire to be part of something bigger? Why not just give it up for your own reasons? I won't be doing it myself regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Alcoholics go to AA and dry out quietly. Attention seekers chuck it for a few weeks and bore the fucking life out of everyone else while they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I only used to drink about once every few months. Folk at work were all moaning about how hard 'sober for October' had been and I'd done it without even realising I'd done it. The last 2 years I've probably drank every weekend. Total waste of money and health. I am aff it till April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Not sure if its a case of can't doing it for most people, most people would just not want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 If you can't stop for 30 odd days you've got a problem Love when this one pops up. I probably couldn't give up for 30 days but that's not due to a problem, it's due to having at least one social occasion in the month that I would enjoy to drink at.

The same sort of comment as "If you can't go to a social outing and not have a drink you have a problem" Not true, i just don't want to go and stay sober and listen to other peoples shite at a party.

Ross. Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have my works "End of Year" do on the 15th. It features a free bar at one of the more expensive establishments of Zürich.

Exactly. I rarely drink in the house but when I go out to meet up with some mates then I like to have a few pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Why should I? Anyway this for jakeballs who can't go a weekend without emptying 8 litres of Stella down their fat necks. Not for socially acceptable functioning alcoholics like me who enjoy a small malt of an evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're fucked if I'm not drinking every last penny I can manage.[/quoteBut if you can't go 30 days without then you have a problem... I regularly go weeks at a time without drinking. I don't feel the need to count the days. I'd suggest that anyone who has to count the days between their drinks has a problem. That said, I am terrible for binge drinking. On Boxing day I drunk a bottle of gin and half a dozen shots of Absinthe and have no recollection of making it back to my hotel, though I can recall tripping over my own feet and smashing a hole in the wall with my elbow. That's not a problem though. I covered it with electrical tape and didn't mention it to the reception when checking out and haven't received a bill.

Why not give up posting for the entire calendar year? Not in the form of a contrived challenge - simply because you contribute nothing but tedious pish.
