mixing everything. unless i can’t identify it ![]()
I stopped drinking in October 2014, totally cold turkey. I tried a beer this past Thanksgiving (Shiner Boch, for those who are curious. Used to be my favorite), and it was awful. I drank maybe 2 ounces, set it aside, and ended up using it to make beer bread later.
Will try again Thanksgiving 2024, not expecting a different result. But I’ll try
Why ingest it at all?
Because humans have enjoyed it for thousands of years? Because it is deeply embedded in our social fabric? Because it makes people feel happy? Because it is delicious?
That said, yeah I need to cut back
If I didn’t drink I may in fact disappear altogether.

Better start smoking cigarettes then, too.
Not for me, but I’m in anyway.![]()

6 years ago I’d have disagreed with you. Now, I’ll just say it’s not to my tastes
dude you are funny
There was a point in my life where my Shiner intake was measured in gallons
I’m in (with the exception of a few days mid-month when the in-laws are coming to town…they’re world-tour-level day drinkers)…I’ll make up for it by staying dry in February as well. This is my 3rd (or 4th, can’t recall) year of doing dry January, it’s always a good reset after the holidays.
Same. Jan 1 to (at least) Valentine’s day. I did labour day to my birthday (Oct 20) in the fall (47 days) and lost 10+ lbs and felt great.
I’m in. Only just joined this training session. Training for the Birmingham Velo 100.
Alright, maybe I’m crazy…I went dry for all of 2019…not a drop! I made a commitment to refine my diet (always a work in progress), no booze, and focused structured training… over the last year, I lost 10 lbs of fat I didn’t really even know was there, and am stronger and faster than I have ever been. I have the best sleep of my life and am more motivated than ever. that’s just my experience.
Day 4! ![]()
Oh wait, not that.
Been dry since may 2019. Best decision ever for my health and performance.
Not to fear, I’m drinking enough so you guys dont have to.
It’s been easy so far. Yes all 5 days of dryness. However the real test will be getting to the end of Saturday evening and not having a drink
