Dry January

13 days dry, which is not in the same league as running a triathlon. Sort of the opposite. I don't exert myself to walk to the fridge and open another beer. Yummy, refreshing, Banana Bread Beer (dammit).

I have found that the most common response when people learn you are doing this is "Oh, that wouldn't make much difference to me - I hardly drink". Which is great, and I'm happy I know so many sensible drinkers (although funnily enough, they never seem keen to take up my offer "Well, why don't you do it then - it won't be tricky for you!")

I do wonder if one day I'll come across someone who just replies "Nah, couldn't do it - I like drinking too much".
