December 1, 20169 yr It's my last night of my holibob and I'm both going out drinking and setting myself up by attempting to drink all the booze I've accumulated over the time, got some specially earmarked for when I get in too, reckon' I'll be up all night and straight to the airport, probably feel haunted by 4pm tomorrow.
December 1, 20169 yr I'm at the slightly rocking on my heels, jingling my keys in my pocket and smiling inanely stage atm, couple more drinks and I should be at the red-faced and talking loudly point. See? You won't get such riveting gold with a pay forum.
January 1, 20179 yr In and struggling to get out The biblical amount that I drank yesterday was neither big nor clever I am going to make serious and genuine effort this year to lesson my alcohol intake
January 1, 20179 yr I'm with you Manc, I shall be partaking in a couple tonight watching the darts and then I am making sure I have a good dry period and will do so for sustained periods through the year.
January 1, 20179 yr Dryathlons are for metrosexuals, southerners and folk who watch X Factor. I watch X factor and not only am I metro I am also trisexual. I shall not be partaking in no dryathlon. The bay horse needs me. As does the golden eagle.
January 1, 20179 yr I'm with you Manc, I shall be partaking in a couple tonight watching the darts and then I am making sure I have a good dry period and will do so for sustained periods through the year.Friday and Saturdays (excl holidays) only for me
January 1, 20179 yr I'm not gonna go for dry periods as such as I find that when I then have a few drinks I get drunk very quickly and feel seriously shit afterwards. I'm just simply going to slow down my intake and stop when I know that I've had enough.
January 1, 20179 yr I'm just simply going to slow down my intake and stop when I know that I've had enough. Good luck with that
January 1, 20179 yr I'm not doing dry January again but I am going to try and do no wine in Jan. Struggling to resist tonight though! Must be about 14 days straight drinking.

January 1, 20179 yr Problem is, drinking was creeping in more and more during the week so my idea is to kick that into touch and give my body a break on school nights. I am not convinced a dry month is much fun or worth it.
January 1, 20179 yr Knocking on the head drinking in house totally. Don't have that much anyway. Couple of binges a month going forward. Odd other drink here and there with good out etc but zip in house
January 2, 20179 yr I'm going to; Stick to beer only eyeopeners of a morning - no wine, sherry, spirits or brasso. Stop making my daytime coffees 'irish' with glugs of Glayva... Three pint limit at last orders, Guinness or cider only, no premium lager etc. Stop buying tramps outside the supermarket packs of cans then drinking a couple of them myself whilst shooting the breeze awhile. Cease secreting 'emergency' three litre bottles of Strongbow about the house.
January 2, 20179 yr Had some kind of seizure at 4am this morning. Shivering all over the shop. Think it was the point where yesterday's ale wore off and I needed to replenish. Time for a detox.
January 2, 20179 yr First day off the ale yesterday Woke up at 5am barely able to move due to the pain in my lower back. Apparently that's my kidneys and/or liver having a meltdown. The signs are there
January 2, 20179 yr Same here, been up since 4.30am Was planning on driving to Coventry but not sure I'll still be awake.
January 2, 20179 yr I'll be having my usual Dry Januaryish like I've been doing for years and a long time before it became popular. I will have my last alcoholic drink this evening and then stay off the booze until 3rd February.
