Drugs no thanks!
Smoking ... **** no!
Palace and fanny is the only addiction needed!

Most of us drink considerably less than when the bbs was in its infancy.

Will be heading for Br*g*t*n next Friday via Lewes and if you know your ales you'll know also it's not the ideal place to hang around during a dry January so it's a no from me.

Very, very true Pedro.

My aim this year is to binge drink less. I don't think dry Jan will help with that. Plus it's my birthday tomorrow. No drinking in the week and more sensible weekend drinking is the aim. Also to finally quit the fags which go hand in hand with the binge drinking.

I'm doing it again. In fact, I'm going to do it twice a year from now on as I find it easy and it's actually a relief when I do, I enjoy it. Whatever that means. No Palace for me now until Brentford so it will be easy.

I find I'm far more focused at work, certainly more productive, sleep better, feeling more refreshed even though I wake earlier. I'd go full on teetotal if I didn't enjoy drinking so much and most/all of my social life revolves around booze. For now, a biannual reset will suffice.

Sounds eminently sensible does that. I’m canning the booze in the week and not going to the boozer on a Friday. Will have a few Saturdays watching footy and maybe Sunday.

Have a good birthday tomorrow

Yes I'm currently off the sauce, I was sorely tempted at half time yesterday however..

[NYEagle]

I’m in - for the last few years have done 2 separate months dry during the year. May try January and February this year.

I haven't had a drink since Dec 14 on a plane back from the UK. Got covid and I haven't felt like drinking since. Shame as the fridge is full of beer and wine.

Donate it to your local MP?

Good luck to anyone doing it today!

Do you think you caught it in The UK, or on the plane, or since you got back?

[NYEagle]

Did everyone (who tried) manage to stay off alcohol in January?

I am going to try and push for a further 2 weeks, but won’t feel bad if I fail the extra time.
