Dry January

[d000hg]

I am in holiday mode until Monday - gave myself two weeks of eat and drink what I like and I'm damn well going to use the whole two weeks - still alarming amounts of junk food and booze to get through before I clamp down again. Sadly the mini-keg of ale from the local microbrewery was drained last night

Well, I had my chicken rubbed earlier...



So sorry...

Thats fowl!

Two things.

(1) I went to the pub for lunch today and drank Appletiser. Turns out it has more calories than beer

Agree with all that, especially the inability to stop at one - what the hell is the point of one drink? But will persevere nonetheless. From a calories point of view, if nothing else, I need it.

Mr ms just got a bottle of wine and two glasses out... I've said "No ta".

A bottle of wine is a wonderful thing to share with a friend. Preferably a tee-totaller.

I used to feel like that. But after a while, if you "force" yourself to have just one drink, you get used to having only one. So if you go out and have 2 or 3 you get quite merry quite quickly.

The point of one drink, is to enhance a meal.

HTH
