Giving up drink for 2013...
So that's it! From midnight there will be no more beer, wine or whisky for a full twelve months. Whether I'll actually manage to go 52 weeks without a cool refreshing ice cold beer, a quiet dram or a couple of glasses of red I've yet to find out, but I'll give it a damn good try and hopefully raise a few pounds for charity along the way. So let this temperate journey into sobriety begin!
I've a few concerns about this zero approach to alcohol malarkey. Social occasions where drink is present will be interesting. Then there's the peer pressure and the shocked/quizzical/sympathetic looks that will accompany it. But will the booze free benefits outweigh the downsides of the demon drink? I'm sure I'll soon find out.
The reasons? Mainly health wise and I've noticed that hangovers get worse with age! But I'll talk more about that in later posts.
Thanks for joining me on this journey, and feel free to comment below of you are giving up the bubbly this year.
Here's to a happy and healthy new year!
