Im doing it with a diet, on a 5 / 2 basis which means I can have a treat 2 days a week. Actually feel better, even after a few days

I'm going to try. Except I call it Restock January

I’m on meds for a heart attack I had earlier this year, really messes with my capacity for drinking volume these days !

Do it every year - I put on such a gut over November / December that it takes a couple of months to get rid of again!

Seriously, I read once that of all the things to give up temporarily alcohol is the most beneficial, as the liver is the only organ that rebuilds itself (as opposed to just not getting worse). That may be apocryphal and is almost certainly too simplistic but it stuck with me.

Had a dry Xmas and for the forceable future down to health and medication issues will continue for some time,had a good run though

I think it's cobblers. I have one dry week out of every three due to shifts, and I feel exactly the same at the end of the dry week as I do any other time.

Blimey, I m getting worried. Ive given up smoking and bought an exercise bike! The worlds gone mad! However Im brewing like mad to fill every available bottle and keg for the summer......when it arrives.

Sometimes I do it, sometimes not. This year is a bit of a mini dry January; I'll be drinking will past midnight so will be drinking on the 1st, and there is a Mod band playing at my local on the 27th January, so I'll be on the piss that night, but other than that will be dry for January.

I'm also going to start getting to my summer / nice weather cycling weight to help me up them there hills, so will start to eat more sensibly. Nothing extreme, just a few pounds too loose and start to exercise a bit more to get my fitness level up a bit.

I will, however, be doing lots of brewing!

I have at least 3 or 4 nights a week where I can’t have a drink because of Work, that’s plenty for me.

I will not be doing it but do intend to cut down next year my problem is i cannot resist eating while drinking which does my waistline no favours.

I do three weeks dry at work. Then 3 weeks wet at home. The end of the 3 weeks at home I am more tired than the end of the 3 weeks at work.

We’ll be on a health kick in the new year (Mrs Dundee has signed up for 2 half marathons). She has decided she won’t be buying any wine until at least her birthday. I’m just getting back into getting fit for fun so a pint or 2 on a Friday/Saturday won’t do me any harm.

I did think about it but then my mate asked if I was out tomorrow. I may have one weekend off. Only have 4 bottles at most a week anyway but feeling the effects of only cycling once a week so need to get back exercising

No beer for a month... I've never heard anything so bloody stupid. I'd rather stop eating.
