Just heard this on the radio, I'm going to give it a go - not to raise money or any of that crap
Purely because my liver could use a break and I can't remember a time in the last 10 years I have gone without a drink for more than a few days What is Dry July?

I gave up drinking from ages of 21.5 till 23.5.
2 Years. Not drinking is overrated. However since then i've never really gotten bad drunk... 5-6 a night is enough. Cheaper too. |

Good work spook.
I really should have done it this month, but I really don't drink much these days anyway, so it seams hardly worth it.* But I am limiting myslef to a 6-pack per weekend. That's dry enough. *What an awesome excuse for an alcoholic! |
