Anyone doing Dry January?

[ScrewyBrewer]

Hahaha, no.

So what comes after Dry January? F***ed up February 1? I'm going to the gas station that carries 1000 varieties of beer for a few things from Germany.

Just finished a beer called “There goes my resolution”

well, that pretty much worked itself out.

We (me and the big hair) read about dry January after New Years so we are doing it, but since we started on Monday the 13, we are going to February 14th. No weight loss, but I think it isn’t a bad thing to abstain for a period of time. There’s plenty of normal people that never drink.

True, but Lemmy was 70, which is like 234 in rock god years!

I did 24 days with the intention of 24 days, had an event in the 25th I was t going to do dry. Wasn’t too difficult and it went quickly, even hung out at the breweries without drinking a couple of times. Went to a Tool concert sober! Not bad overall. Thinking of doing one week a month for poopies and gigs. And I would honestly save about $1000 throughout a year that way.

 

[Soulshine2]

Just wondering.

I'm no quitter !!!

Haven't had a beer ( I only drink beer ) since January 1st, so one month. February will be the same: no beer or alcohol. In February, I'll be brewing 6 different beers, which I will start drinking in April. In March, I will drink and share the first beers of the year, with a friend. I've saved 200 euros in January, by not having any beer.

I see what you did there....

One down side of staying dry while being a homebrewer is it doesn't really save you money. I already bought a freezer full of hops and big grain sack and all the gear. Not drinking saves me 0$.

I spent 18 days in January and 9 in February on antibiotics so essentially I had a dry January. But that's all over now and beer is more delicious than ever

I was washing my amoxicillin down with home brew for Strep throat. You must have been on XXX-azole type.

IV something for a week(septicemia from a kidney infection) then keflex for almost 3 weeks

I made it through my dry January and learned a thing or two from my experience.

 

[z-bob]

I start on Monday (maybe Tuesday.) Will go until Easter. That's 40 or 41 days, depending which day I start.

You'd think that a thread with "January" in the title would die on its own by March... but maybe these super sober cats are too hyper focused on their tasks of the moment to stop and look at the calendar....

My glass just went dry - does that count?

my god, dry February! in the the words of robot santa from futurama, "even worse!"...lol

No, just the standard IV in the arm for fluids and constant antibiotics-basically the strongest one available(I was sick). Then once home Keflex 3 times a day for 20 days. Strangely after all these years of drinking I had zero cravings for any alcohol, and now that I'm healthy I drink half as much as before. On e ore tw beers in the late afternoon, and a Scotch or bourbon on the rocks around 9 PM.

Corona virus maybe? I had one once and it made me drink less too! Sounds terrible!

 

[6Tap]

No one likes a quitter I was told.

I thought January already flew by???

Anyway, I’m thinking of brewing a few dry type beers this March, does that count? [emoji482]

I wish. But I'm healed, and ready to get after it again. No corona in my house, either the virus or the beer.
