The Dry January Club

[Diddums]

Rightey-o then, who's in? I appreciate we've got the wagon thread but I think this probably caters to a wider audience.


Come on, join and and be healthy to start off 2026

 

[Malevolence]

I would, but then I'd be cheating seeing as how on the 14th it's going to be 9 years.

 

[tonys]

I've got 3 litre bottles of Southern Comfort to get through this month so I will gladly decline your untempting offer.

 

[Mr Badger]

Good old Dry January. Another attempt to destroy the struggling British pub.

 

[~Mike~]

I'm in.

 

[Hagar]

I drink very sparingly anyway so I'm out.

 

[Uther]

I started last August so it'll be a bit easier.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Good old Dry January. Another attempt to destroy the struggling British pub.

To be fair, the main thing destroying British pubs are the prices they charge.

 

[Psymonkee]

Beyond the odd cider I had a first real drink (read vodka) last night for the new year and really didn't enjoy it at all.

I'll hop on your darned wagon alright.

 

[Feek]

I very rarely drink these days. If I fancy a bevvy during January then I’ll have one. If I don’t, I won’t.

Nobody’s dictating to me what I should or shouldn’t do for a month.

 

[Maundie]

No thank you, drink infrequently but to actually stop myself from drinking is not something that appeals

 

[dave28]

I would, but then I'd be cheating seeing as how on the 14th it's going to be 9 years.

Only 9 years.

Im near 22 years

 

[radderfire]

I would encourage anyone to kick the booze for good, but Dry January is a good start.

 

[adidan]

Rarely drink.

Did enough of that when I was younger and I vowed back then I would never be one of those older types I would see still getting hammered.

So I'm continuing to do what I told my younger self I would.

But then he was drunk and clubbing most of the time so he wouldn't probably remember if I did otherwise

 

[robj20]

I'm in, but feel it's cheating a bit. 2025 a barely drank, 2026 I was planning on giving up all together.

 

[TonTom]

No

 

[Dyson]

No thanks

 

[Nabinium]

I very rarely drink these days, so Dry January specifically won't make much difference to me anyway, as I'm dry most of the year. Christmas and the couple rare special occasions are the only times I'll have a couple.

 

[DanTheMan]

Started to get horrible palpitations when drinking back in October so haven't had a drink since then. First dry Christmas since I was legally allowed to drink (and probably even further back).

The only thing I've really missed is a nice pint of bitter / ale. I have drank my own bodyweight in Guinness zero over the festive period and I've had some lovely non alcoholic beers though, so it hasn't been too bad.

A big part of me is tempted to continue through January and maybe just stay sober.

 

[m4rmite]

Damn I failed on the first day, try again tomorrow.
