Dry July... as in not drinking booze for the month of July.

I'm doing it because it's probably good to take a break from drinking for a while, for physical and mental health. I might even lose a few kilos while training for The Age 5K fun run on July 21.
 
I'm doing Drunk July. I've got 3 weeks off starting now and I plan to make the most of them.
 
I am doing Sly July - that's where I tell everyone I'm having a month off the booze but keep drinking anyway.
 
I'm doing dry today. it is the indy version the hipsters don't want you to know about.
Is over a lot quicker too so that people wont hear about it and jump on board.
Will probably end up like Nirvana at the Sydney Big Day out in 1992 - only 10,000 tickets were sold but at least 100,000 people say they were there.

You should be banned for life... I find this topic both disturbing and sober... I not only take offence, but I take the gate as well !! Haha
 
I did it last year but don't think I will back up for a whole month again this year. A great cause though and so I will find some peeps over here to donate to fo sho!
 
I've been dry since Wednesday because I'm sick :( . That's the longest I've gone without a beer for quite some time. Need to get better and back into soon though 'cause I need to free up some bottles for the SMaSH APA in the FV :D .
 
Dry July?

Let me think about that....no. :drinks:

Batz
 
No.

I have alcohol free days every week and I don't tend to go overboard these days.

Saying that, I am brewing a Mild as we speak (write) so I can drink more beer and less alcohol!
 
Im sort of giving it a go. I have a barefoot bowls day at the end of the month, so im starting today,and going til then. I'm planning on trying pretty hard to do it, though if I weaken and have a beer it wont totally upset me.

I have a hangover so that may make it easier, as the last thing I feel like right now is a beer !!
 
The XMAS in July case swaps are in July so that is an impossibility.

I struggle to have an AFD.
 
I will try my very best to keep any liquid from splashing on my calendar for the month of July...doesn't seem to be a problem any other month. :D I'm gonna shit this in.
 
I'm doing a Dry Sunday because of a particularly Wet Saturday.
 
might throw jn some extra dry days but going a whole month! nah bugger that. ...cheers...spog....
 
I'm thinking about it - I often don't drink till Thursday or Friday night, so I have a few days to decide. Like the OP, it might be a good opportunity to get a bit fitter, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of beer left come August. On the other hand, I have some lotto beers coming to me and it might be poor form to make people wait until August for feedback.
