Nope. My birthday is in October so I don't even pretend that I'm going to do it.

I'll probably end up doing it my default. I don't tend to drink in the house and given the state of the world right now, finding myself out and about having a pint isn't top of my agenda :lol: Also been back calorie counting the last few weeks to shift the lockdown induced pounds :lol:

So you’ll be slender by November because drinking isn’t top of your agenda and you won’t be going on a bender?
 
I’m giving up drinking for a month.
Sorry , that came out wrong.
I’m giving up. Drinking for a month!

Punctuation eh...

And never forget that grammar is equally important

Been off the booze since the new Year, I had put a fair bit of weight on during November and December due to holidays and Christmas and was heavier than I had been for a while. I decided to get off the booze and used My Fitness Pal App to lose that weight, I was looking to lose nearly 2 stone to get back where I normally am.

However, due to lockdown I just kept off the booze and trained a fair bit more than I normally did, the weight came off fairly quickly, I was also not eating the constant supply of cakes and biscuits in work.

I have lost almost 4 stone and feel fitter than I have done for a long time. I can’t say I would go teetotal, but I can’t say I have thought I need a beer right now either.

To be honest booze hasn’t held the attraction for me it used to, and getting up to use the toilet during the night with a load of beer in me results in a crap nights sleep anyway. Drinks at home or the pub with friends is ok but that doesn’t look likely until after Whitsun and I can’t be arsed just having a beer for the sake of it.
 
As bad as vegans / vegetarians telling you that they are vegans / vegetarians.

Nobody cares about you brave soldiers giving up alcohol for a month.
 
Won’t happen. My Saturday swig is the highlight of my week. Beers, takeaway and a film with the wife, followed by some Spotify surfing till the early hours when she’s gone to bed. I fucking love Saturdays. I’m a simple man with simple pleasures.
