y’know… might defer that month off alcohol until Feb. Coz right now I’m miserably head-coldy & and I have a cupboard full of Azimuth…

…and Cool Fusion… ginger’s good for a cold, right? Plus February is shorter than January. And it’s my birthday this month.

And it’s Australia day on the 26th… there’s never a good month for taking a month off booze.

Fuck, I forgot Burn’s Night. What, no haggis and whisky?

What little self-respect I own will be relying on this coming back up in February…
It’s interesting to see the chatter online when it comes to taking time off drinking. A lot of folk seem to take it as a personal affront. Given some of the naff packaging “going dry” comes with at this time of year I can understand their position… a lot of it reeks of anti-alcohol lobby bullcrap.
However, last year I decided to do January without booze… and I actually did it. I felt good for it as well… it was simply good to know I could live without beer. So this year I’m doing it again. Just for me.
I will still see my favourite pubs & landlords during the month… for a refreshing glass of orange juice perhaps.
