Dry January

[CycloneDaddy]

No idea why I agreed to Dry January … going to be a long month.

Anyone else doing this?

Starting on Monday. We call it "Joyless January".

Do I get a Hallmark card or anything? If ain’t recognized by Hallmark, I ain’t doing it.

 

[Cyientist]

I've been considering it. I have 3 - 4 work trips that are going to make it extremely difficult, which is probably all the more reason that I should do it.

I'm in, what do I get if I win? I think the last drink I had was probably on the beach in Mexico in 2023.

I'm doing the same thing. God it's gonna be awful. I'm gonna be shaking worse than Shooter when he was drawing up the "picket fence".

So if you had a drink after midnight on New Year's Eve, have you already failed?

I typically quit drinking for about 2-3 months after the SB. I ain't giving up January.

We went this past July/August off the sauce, so hopefully it won't be a massive shock to the system.

Im in for dry january as well. this already sucks

Does this include weed?

Staying away from the firewater isn't tough once it's out of the rotation.

Stuff is fun, but rough on the body

I've REALLY slowed down since having kids.. I still have a lot of wine and liquor from COVID.

I sleep better and maintained body weight for 4 years, with only an average exercise schedule. Also saves decent $$$

The $$$ difference would probably make up for the 20% increase in Cyclone Club donation that's coming...

No spending January is what I might do. Otherwise I’m drinking even more

Hell no

 

[cyclone82]

So far…. But it’s only 4 pm on the 2nd of January

 

[Cyfan1965]

Was going to wife came home with beer. Start Monday-

 

[Gonzo]

Hell no

Agree. So it's kind of a California Joyless January.

Never let her go.

Full circle:

Give up drinking to save money. Use the savings to pay for the increased Cyclone Club donation. ISU uses proceeds to modify concessions to allow serving alcohol. Resume drinking by having some beers at games

Thought this was another weather thread....
