Dry January

Any of you lot giving it a go? Ive had a £50 bet with my missus as to who gives in first. This is going to be absolutely brutal for me as I drink most nights of the week. Im hoping a month off will help me get a bit of the Christmas weight off and fit again.

Not drinking 5 days a week for 4 weeks. I reckon thats enough calories reduced from my diet to get a stone off

I'm going to have wet January where I drink excessively for the entire month.

One of my mates said this, except he called it a "Soaking January"

so are you still drinking on weekends? And you're not even doing the full month?

Definitely sounds plausible, but i thought you might have crunched some numbers or something

I'm siding with your missus here though. You'll definitely cave first. My money is on 2nd Jan.

I'm pretty sure it does

. You either don't drink at all on NYE or stop at 23:59.

Stop at 23:59

It makes more sense to stop maybe today or tomorrow so that you're completely alcohol free by Friday. Anything less than that is a failure in my book.

With a stinking hangover and most likely a great deal of alcohol still in your system?

He's not saying he'll be alcohol free on 1st January, he's saying he won't consume any alcohol during January which he won't be as he'll have stopped on nye.
