Dry January

[simply1]

You mean LJS? No way could I go an entire month without.

Oops, I had the wrong soaking.

Dry January is the worst fad in the history of fads. If people are so concerned about their liver/health, then why do you wait until Jan 1 to do something about it? You are just going drink the same amount come Feb 1.

The joke is on you, I’ll wait until Feb. 2.

On a somewhat related note

A couple of years ago I went more than a year without booze. Also cut the fast food

It was crazy how things changed.

Never really got back into the booze groove after that.

going to agree and add on to this.

people are so concerned with hitting the gym/treadmill for weight loss.

Once i cut booze, pop, cut back on carbs, and just took a walk each day, the weight just came off.
looked better, felt better, a lot of pain and inflation went away.

the 2nd part of this that i wasn't expecting is doing a financial comparison.
when i was drinking and eating whatever I wanted, it got really expensive.

so in summary, i look and feel better, head is clear and have money to spend on other things.

It’s absolutely 80% diet and 20% exercise. Maybe 90/10.

Depends on where you’re at and what your goals are.

That’s fair, but you can work out a lot and eat like **** and get nowhere. If you eat well it’s tough to gain a lot of weight. I have been down this road a few times.

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

Anyone else doing this?

I was fine until I read your post. I'm out.

 

[beentherebefore]

No!

 

[JEFF420]

Does this include weed?

Don’t be ridiculous

 

[Letterkenny]

Dry January sounds even worse than no nut November. No thanks.

I'm doing California sober this month. Thank you climbing kites

That was you?

No way I'm rawdogging the start of 2025.

 

[madguy30]

I don't drink very often so don't really pay attention to these types of things but if it helps people to take a break that's great.

 

[Clone1992]

I was out faster than Kramer in The Contest episode. I live in NE Iowa though where drinking at high school grad parties, kid's first birthdays and immediately after visitation at a wake is 100% normal.

Quit drinking a year ago. Will stick with it. We didn't have a healthy relationship.

 

[cowgirl836]

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 $$$

I've really tapered in the past yr and even a glass of sangria Saturday night tanked my sleep.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

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".

That's not great. Be safe.
