Dry January

[fillyboy]

Got off to a shaky start so I'll swerve it till next year, anyway, surely it's more important to support local businesses in these difficult times.

Veganuary, they can do one as well.

I'm doing h2oless January.

Why would anybody have a dry January?

Because the anti-alcohol powers-that-be pressure them to do it, that's why.

There's a growing puritanical belief that if you indulge in alcoholic drinks you are a bad person. The puritans must be ignored; don't feel any pressure to go along with, or any guilt in not going along with, dry January.

Better off controlling your drinking all year. Kills one in ten working age adults never mind the moods swings resulting from mental health problems and the addiction. Like a few things heavy drinking is a form of deliberate self harm.
I drink a bit and last summer I over did it by way too much one night. Was a good night though. Can be fun. Just don't let it kill you.

Brilliant

I know several people who live in the pub and drink far more than is good for them 11 months of the year. Then they kid themselves by having a dry January. Another daft fad that people follow. Be sensible most of the year, or don't - but dry January is a waste of time.

No comparison; taking cannabis is a criminal offence.

No there isn't. I'm going to try an Andy-free 2022.

 

[securespark]

I've been dry for more years than I care to remember.

Started around 2006.

No big deal.

Best comment of the year so far.

You can talk like that only because you can get away with it.

What a load of tosh.

People do it be healthier and help lose some weight.
