No - drink - vember

[Mick Mac]

The annual non drinking festivities start tomorrow. Anyone wants to join, please join in the fun. :(

PS: [*opens last beer.....*]

Edited once to add PS and two to add stars...

[waynetta]

What you doing it for? Have you got a beer gut?

[Mick Mac]

I am testing my non drinking capabilities. A boring exercise in self discipline.

I have a minor beer gut.

[katie1997]

I tried this once and found it surprisingly easier than when I attempted to give up coffee for a month ...

Good luck Mick Mac :)-D

(oops, sorry)

[giggirl]

Well done MM. I'll join you on the wagon for the last two weeks of November if that's OK.

I give up booze at least once a year personally - no particular reason. I just like to go for amonth without.

[hibbs]

Shivers...I'm reducing my alcohol intake to only 2 days per week in November :-(

[waynetta]

Drink lots of tea and eat lots of sweet stuff. It's an adequate replacement.

Exactly - there is no deep lying reason or major concern, but I feel good about it afterwards. In the second half of November we can meet for an orange ! and talk about the Boss, I know you like him.

oooh - that is good Hibbs - would that be Friday and Saturday per chance?

Melvin Bragg has admitted a liking for alcohol and as a result he does not drink for the first 7 days of every month as a self regulation technique.

[Dorothy]

I will. I will give up for six weeks from tomorrow (with one particular night off, if thats allowed).

[Mick Mac]

You can call that your joker :)

[hibbs]

Really depends on my social calendar Mick, this week it will be Tuesday and Saturday, hey I like to go crazy and mix it up from week to week.

[Mick Mac]

Yes, that is crazy.....

[Dorothy]

I like the sound of Melvyn method actually.

Keeps you on your toes rather more than having the traditional one month a year off.

Mee too Katie Numbers - I can't give up coffee.

I gave up alcohol this year from mid-January to April and I'll do the same next year. No real reason.

I'd need a straight-jacket if I gave up coffee though. That can't be a good thing.

Having failed at "SoberTober" "No-booze-vember" sounds like a good idea!

[SeanMacGabhann]

This is all well and good, but I'm warning youse all that you are still coming to the EDF-drinks-Thank-You-To-Georgia on Friday week

[woofmarkthedog]

I never drink between 1 am & 6 pm

Well " never " is a loose term but you get my drift

W**F

[Mick Mac]

Day 4 and a bit bored. Seem to be eating a lot.

Am also giving up coffee - there's only so much Lemon and Ginger Twinings a man can drink. :'(

[????]

oooh, shall I go and grab a beer...

[mockney piers]

I'm thinking about doing anabaptember

[Narnia]

I once gave up drink for 5 years. That's a lot of November's.

[DulwichFox]

I totaly gave up drinking alcohol some time back.

It was the worst day of my life.

[karter]

Mick, what's going to happen in Cember then?
