Off it till Feb

biko

Right, after drinking my share during the hols I'm now officially off alcohol until end of January. As luck will have Feb 1st is a Friday
If you see me drunk during this time I'll buy you a pint at next beers.

That would be harder!

Fair play, biko -- if all of us know your intentions, it's much harder for you to give in to your, what can I say, weakness. We're watching you sharply :eek:

Definitely! Anyone else off the booze?

Well I was trying, but I failed when I went into a pub talking to a friend of mine, was there for two hours drinking coffee and I was grand, then a few more came in, talkin' away, then BAM! I had a pint bought for me. Now, I don't know 'bout you, but I wasn't raised to insult a man by refusing a pint... But as of this morning sure i'll wait off it 'till February.

Anyone else want to join in on this little endeavour?

Off the booze? good luck with it Biko! I however won't be, am off the cigs forever though since three weeks ago!

Best of luck with the month off from booze, I think they're a good idea every so often - at least, just to make sure you still can Sadly, in generally takes me 3 tries to get a successful one.

Bonus - at the end of it, ur a cheap date again! Tho that turns into a minus if you forget that and put 'em back like you were used to doing.

Rehab is for quitters...
I'm also off it, but I'm off from the twelfth (when college starts back) til may, when it finishes. Final year blows.
