The DA Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm still on track but yesterday and today were the worst so far. If someone had opened a bottle of Malbec and offered me a glass or six, I'd have crumbled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I've still not touched a drop this year and it's been relatively easy so far. I'm not exactly out all the time, so not going to a pub for weeks on end isn't out of the ordinary, but the wife and I do like a few drinks in the house on a Friday & Saturday night. She's still drinking but I've been quite happy with either some fizzy juice or non-alcoholic beers at the weekend. I've found Heineken 0.0% & Guinness 0.0 to be excellent and for me are as close to the actual stuff as you could possibly hope for. Never, just never, go near the Tennents Zero. An absolute abomination. I don't expect to last the entire month as I'm heading down to Yorkshire on the 27th to catch up with some family and have a day at the football, but we'll see how that goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgie greatness Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 weekend to go! Heading for mussy races on the 3rd. Will need to beer up on the Friday or I’ll be guttered at the races 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yup. Breaking it with pals coming over on the 27th. Been remarkably unremarkable this year. A doddle. Copious amounts of Lucky Saint drunk though and - an absolute game changer discovery for me - Tanqueray 0%. For all those scoffers and sceptics out there, I’d say give it a go. Not even not too terrible, a most acceptable aperitif if mixed with decent (Fever Tree) tonic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I’ve been doing this Dry January, as I know I drank far too frequently last year (away most weeks for a couple of nights due to work) and we were in Tenerife start of December right up till Xmas, and I felt I was a fat mess by late December. I have done this Dry Jan twice before and like now, it’s been a dawdle. I actually only really enjoy beers and I was getting fussy about even that by end of last year. Test for me is this week as I’m off to Belfast on Wednesday for 2 nights and Dublin next week for 2 nights; both with work and I’ll get bored in the hotel. I’ll maybe go for a Chinese or something for dinner, as that’ll avoid sitting in a bar with grub and Guinness for company all night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 As trailed, kicked the erse out it with a couple of pals on Saturday. Swiftly followed by a brutal three day hangover. Lesson learned. Have actually quite enjoyed it, definitely been the long overdue reset required; hoping to keep the heid for as long as possible through 2024 and hopefully beyond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
