Nah, lose half a stone and get your head together in Jan, back to boozing in Feb, put the half a stone back on and your mental state becomes slightly tarnished again. So no difference !Originally posted by d000hg View PostOf course it will.Comment

I think the closest some posters on here get to that is a Dry MartiniOriginally posted by Lockhouse View PostI always stop drinking after New Year's Eve until around St Valentine's Day. Mostly just to give my body and brain a chance to recover but also tend to lose weight as well. Anyone else have a "Dry January"?Coffee's for closersComment

The free bar is getting wise to me. They have a one drink limit per person(So you all have to go up). I'm staying in tonight so have been popping to the bar grabbing a drink and then taking it to my room before popping down again. I think they think I'm Scottish!Originally posted by hyperD View PostYeah, I stopped drinking 5 mins ago. Refilled glass with wine and back on it again.
