I think I had a beer last week, but I'm cutting a lot out of my diet for the month of January

 

[MThuntr]

Dry(ish) January...no drinks during the week and limited a couple on the weekends when socializing. No beers can be had at a bar or pub.

I had already broken the rules before I heard it was a thing, so as Kramer said, "I'm out!". LOL!

Doing the same thing here. Trying to shed some weight.

I think so. Not much snow predicted.

My bad. Adult beverages. I predict a monsoon.

February, 3 days less!

Haven’t had a drink since August, the quiting drinking thread on here and huberman podcast literally changed my life. Best decision I’ve made for my mind and body.

Had a health scare and some other things going on that cause me to quit in November. Haven’t had one since.

I am, but I'm strongly considering breaking it tonight. It's just way more punk rock to not go along with trends.

Thats how I am anyways. Why take the joy out of my Friday post-workout miller lites?

This will be month 17 of no booze. I used to drink like a fish though and it was a problem. Best decision I've ever made.

Nope, it's a leap year only 2 days less!

I'm doing dry-ish after hitting it fairly hard over the winter holidays. No drinks on weeknights and just one or two during weekend. I have noticed two things:
1. I'm generally sleeping better.
2. I really enjoy straight bourbon and like to have a drink in some evenings while reading a book or watching TV. This has given me a much better understanding of how much I'm actually drinking doing this. If you are truly counting one drink of bourbon (or any hard alcohol) is just 1.5 oz. Have you seen what 1.5 oz looks like in a rocks glass without ice?!? It looks like you already need a refill. I usually need at least two fingers worth. Will need to keep those limited in the future.

Good luck and much support to those giving it a shot. I know it can be very hard and can be difficult to talk about.

Doing dryish. No drinking at home on weekdays. Will have some if I'm at a business function in the evenings and some on the weekends. I've never been a good quitter. Definately notice difference in sleep quality. Hoping to make it a lifestyle and not just a January thing.

I don't drink much I can count on one hand how many drinks I've had in the last 5-6 years.

So a dry January to me means lack of snow.
