Not very much, I'll go without for a couple of weeks then have about 6 in one week. It depends what comes up.

December was a bad month for drinking.

Nope... for me it means no alcohol and trying to eat non-processed, whole foods - as raw as possible

It also means getting back into the gym and setting /achieving some goals

Few years ago decided to alternate months, then it turned into alternate years. Evens off. Odd on.

The correct term would be ‘hiatus’. Quitting suggests a permanence, which would be precluded by the aforementioned planned resumption.

I usually don't drink too much, either way, It's good to start the year with a bit of detox and maybe join the gym more often!

Dryish

Drier than December.

Probably just a glass or two of wine on Saturday night.

Part of “these troosers safe too fucking tight, and I’m not buying bigger ones” January.

... eat a bit better, drink a bit less, exercise a bit more, less nights out. Nothing drastic, but keep it up for jan and Feb and get SOMETHING out of those shitty winter months

Never see the dry January thing as possible as most people have a drink to toast the NY.

So you already break it.

I did dry Feb a couple of years ago.

Now I am 90%dry so not an issue.

Dry January is OK but personally I prefer lots of lube, real or artificial as without it life can become quite painful, especially as we get older!

No alcohol for me in January, I'll be busy working 7 days a week so need to be on top form.
