Topic: Dry July - who's not with me!

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?


Dry July is a website based community where an individual or group can take on the challenge of a month long sponsored abstinence from alcohol.

100% of all funds raised go direct to benefit the lives of people living with cancer through the Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation, Dreams2Live4 Charity.

Dry July is about making a difference, challenging yourself, encouraging positive change, clearing your head and getting healthy. Feel good about yourself knowing your efforts and the sponsorship you raise will directly benefit the lives of people living with cancer.

I have a glass or wine or beer maybe like twice a year so there'd be no point in me doing it

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.

If you can't go a month without drinking even if you want to I'd be worried.

^ same as me except its saturday night cause i have soccer friday night

If you can't go a month without drinking even if you want to I'd be worried. seriously, 9/10ths of my social life with friends is getting rotten

haha f***, i think i need to settle down

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!
