No - drink - vember

[ImpetuousVrouw]

I've decided to have go at no-drink-vember myself. Before the December onslaught!

[Brendan]

Me too. Convinced Mick half-inched my idea.

[karter]

What will you both be drinking at the Phoenix?

[Mick Mac]

I'm very partial to orange and lemonade on a night out these days. In fact November is cancelled for me, but I'll pop in to thank Georgia.

Not yet Karter - but its only day 8. Its quite a revelation actually as usually I spend the weekend wishing I could catch up on some lost sleep but this weekend seemed full of energy. I suppose that's the way it should be.

Dinner Party on the 27th though so thats my target finishing date. The Mrs can cook, I'll get trolleyed.

Hey guys.

Am new to this forum but this thread jumped out at me! Congrats to everyone who is attempting (and succeeding) with No-drink-vember. I always try and stay off the sauce in March and November.... no idea why but it's a good challenge!

If you want to hit November with a double-positive-whammy (DPW) then think about upping your exercise as well as staying off the booze. The results will be incredible, trust me. By putting the extra energy you have,from lack of hangovers etc, into exercise ,you'll make a huge difference to your fitness and general well being......or you can look at it as allowing yourself more drinks over the Christmas period :-)

If anyone wants any fitness advice, help setting goals, class ad Personal Training information then please give me a shout.

Good luck for the next 3 weeks!

I am a bit of a late starter on this one. (Only started as of Monday 8th). However, my Christmas party isn't until the 9th December, so I will be doing a full month.

What's been the worst part for people so far?

I have a night out planned (ages ago) with an old friend in Krakow this weekend, and am almost dreading telling her I am not drinking.

Day 21 and still clean as a whistle. 6 days to go until 27th :) Have noticed an improvement in the overdraft this month, many early nights, and a very boring time all round. Have found it easier than previous years though, so thats a good thing.

December is almost fully booked in nights out already. Christmas is coming!

Anyone else doing this or am I on my own?

[katie1997]

Well done Mick Mac - that's very impressive indeed. Was wondering if you'd managed to do it so far!

Hope you have a truly fab December :)

[Narnia]

I've noticed a decrease in your late night 'witty' posts Mick. Ya reckon it's a side-effect?

[karter]

Mick Mac, go easy in December though as your body may not be able to manage the sudden onslaught of alcohol. :))

[Mick Mac]

Declan. Your use of inverted commas is highly inappropriate in the context of your above 'observation'.

[Narnia]

Edited Mick........not wishing to offend of course.

[Dorothy]

MickMac - I am sorry, I have been an epic fail. Something fairly stressful happened to me on 1st November and I couldn't not have a drink.

Clearly I am not going to give up for the month of December (although I suppose that would be a sort of Iron Man Challenge in the world of drinking abstension and mebbe something I should contemplate) - so January will be it for me.

Although I am intrigued by Melvyn's first 7 days of each month off method. Perhaps I'll make that my NYR.

Jolly well done to you though :)-D

I was joking old boy. My wife thought your comment was completely appropriate.

[karter]

had a few good drinks in The Actress this evening Mick and jolly good was it too.
