Have a lite beer or cider.

I would need at least a few jabs of heroin to sit through Bell X1!

Haha. I like them actually but I know they're not to everyone's taste.

Still powering through.

Booked flights to New York for February 2nd for Superbowl to have a proper send-off to dry Jan! :pac:

I love them

Saw them live about 10 years ago at a festival and have really liked them ever since.

They're definitely a band that people either love, hate, or never heard of.

Just a suggestion in case you felt the need, no reason really. They are low in alcohol so I drink them when I'm out but it's up to you.

Light beer is rarely much lower in alcohol in Ireland with the exception of Heineken light which I'm not sure I've ever seen. Coors and Bud light are around the same as their non light counterparts. Guinness/beamish/smithwicks are lower than both of them. Guinness being the highest of those three and coming in at 230 calories a pint.

Bulmers and Bulmers light are both 4.5%

They'd have a better selection in other countries but feck all here.

I guess I'm saying don't kid yourself into thinking you're drinking less alcohol by going for light versions.

They're light in sugar rather than alcohol iirc

Heino light is all over town anyway and it 3%. So you can drink a rake of pints and not get as drunk. Idiots like me start chugging it like crazy though to compensate.

Didn't intend on doing dry January but through circumstances alone I've yet to have a sup! Nice!

suicide_circus · 20-01-2017 03:05PM

Up til today I was feeling the benefits of dry January although it could have been a placebo. Today i'm back to my old self, that is to say jaded and cranky. I'll do another week though.

Winterlong · 20-01-2017 03:15PM

I am going to fall off the wagon tonight.
Sorry.

8 days to go! (Might change a dry feb too..) Had a very successful weekend - went out again, actually chanced a club sober and it was great craic! (Apart from the noise level!) I think this sober craic could be a runner!

Dave_The_Sheep · 26-01-2017 07:53PM

One weekend left, then it's a doddle until the 4th (my self imposed target).

Start of the 6 Nations, and then the Superbowl. Should be the opposite of this last month that weekend.

Well Dry January died for me this week. I had an absolute nightmare day on Wed and drank a bottle of wine.

silvervixen84 · 27-01-2017 03:39PM

I was doing so well and then my Nan died last week. I was still holding firm after the funeral but my Dad said to me "you'll have a pint?" and I told him I was doing Dry January. "You'll have one for Nana though." I couldn't refuse him then after he just burying his mam.

I'm going to continue on the 1st February to make up for the day off.

That is not a bad reason in fairness.

I'm very sorry to hear your Nan died silvervixen84

Ah sure, that went out the window, 2nd January.

Gwynplaine · 29-01-2017 05:10PM

Had my first drink of the year last night. 5 pints. Nice. I'll leave it again now for another few weeks.

I reckon a few of us will be sitting there at 12.00 on the button just waiting with finger on ringpull to crack open a few cans.
