After Hours' Dry January?

Noveight · 30-01-2017 03:57PM

Had two pints Wednesday evening so I almost got the full month dry. Strangely enough, I didn't enjoy those two pints as much as I used to.

Well done to everyone who has stuck at it

I got hammered last night.

Still hanging in there, although my last drink was the 2nd of Jan, the last day of the Christmas break so not quite the whole of January. Will probably be off it until mid-Feb, though...

Still hanging on. It's Mrs pinch flats birthday on Wednesday 1st so expect to have one or 2 that night. I'm at the surveyors dinner on Thursday night - that's usually a booze fest - then out for dinner on Saturday.

Going to drive on the Saturday night - not looking forward to having Sunday wiped out with a hangover.

I'm in fits here.

What are you doing to me, Whoops?!

whoopsadoodles · 31-01-2017 10:18AM

Well. How did it go?

Mine went fantastically. I lost 3 stone. Saved €470. and I look 7 years younger \o/

Not really, I drank on the 20th at the gig I went to - was rather pissed. I drank on the 25th in celebration. I drank on the 28th, also in celebration. and I drank 2 glasses of wine yesterday evening. Cos Monday.

I'm sorry. I'm crap.

Probably the wettest January ever for me.

Lucyfur · 31-01-2017 11:59AM

I had 2 glasses of wine.

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.

There's some things more important than dry January's. Good on ye.

That's the way to do it.

Just a few hours to go and it's mission accomplished for operation dry Jan.
But there are talks of a visit to the pub tonight, I may fall at the final hurdle.

Jack the Stripper · 31-01-2017 01:43PM

I'll go out tonight, gallon of porter shall be consumed.

Jrop · 31-01-2017 04:33PM

Jack the Stripper · 31-01-2017 04:51PM

Ladies be ready.

Amirani · 31-01-2017 09:26PM

Made it - last drink was December 29th. Gonna hold out until Thursday when I get to New York to have my first! That will be a good moment.

Congrats to all who did it, regardless of whatever slip ups!

KERSPLAT! · 31-01-2017 10:17PM

I actually drank more than normal

Sticking this out until Saturday. Folks over for 6N opening day. Favourite day of the year.

I'm sure it'll just be a few social ones.

barry181091 · 01-02-2017 05:08PM

And we are done!!

Congrats to all!

To celebrate my completion I went to St.James to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy

silvervixen84 · 01-02-2017 05:38PM

Congrats to everyone who stuck it out.

I was going to do one extra day today to make up for the day I took off for my Nana's funeral, but screw that! Gonna have a big duuurty pint after work

Well done everyone who tried

Well done everyone who stuck it out

I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night and looking forward to a nice glass of wine.

Pinch Flat · 02-02-2017 12:50AM

Got over the line myself. I'm out tomorrow night for a black tie do, so will probably end up breaking "the pledge"

ToddyDoody · 02-02-2017 08:53AM

Anyone get incredibly pissed at the end of it all?

Sono · 02-02-2017 09:13AM

Managed to see this through and not gonna break out till next weekend.

Between no alcohol and a good diet for the few weeks I've lost nearly a stone!

Same here, been a good boy over January. No booze, chocolate, crisps and all the sh!te I usually eat.

Down almost 9kg (about a stone and a half) over January - from 108kg to just under 100kg. I'd like to get about another 5kg off - Feel a lot better for it.

Replace "drink" in this thread with cigarettes, weed, cocaine etc.

"Managed to get through January and gonna break out this weekend"...

A non Irish person asked me recently: "Why do you get drunk?" . I said "for the craic, but I feel like ****e the next day", so they asked me again: "Then why do you get drunk?"

I suppose getting drunk is not the same as "having a drink".

Also, on that note, said person was sat in the pub and after 1 drink, I asked if they wanted another, and they said "no". I asked "why not?" (noting the Irish thing, that you can't be sat in a pub with no drink) and they said to me "because I'm not thirsty".

Pub "culture" was totally lost on them.
