Dry July

[Waratah67]

So July is coming up and I was getting pressure to do it this year. Its for a good cause and all (assisting adults living with cancer) so I have agreed. :unsure:

Whilst I'm REALLY going to miss my beers for a month, I'm hoping I will enjoy each one even more afterwards.

Any other brave souls here going to do it?

I've sorted of got a head start on it and started last week (Monday). I've been meaning to lose some weight and use the lost weight as motivation to get fit again. That way I can have the odd beer without looking preggers.

So yeah, I'll be doing it this year.

Yep I'm doing it this year.A month off is a good way to restore the brain to factory settings.

If it wasnt for the WA case swap on the 19th I may partake.
Nope cant do it . :chug:

Isn't that what milds are for? :lol:

July = winter = Stout.

Good luck guys.

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

I'm kinda lucky I got caught on the hop and didn't get my stouts brewed in time for July. So I'll be okay. Getting good beer locally is difficult here (other than my own) so should be all good.

I actually end up making more beer when I'm dry for some reason? h34r: :lol:

I always imagine that I could do dry July, only to make up for it in the first week of August, making the achievement worthless, except for raising money for charity that is.

I see what you did there...hop, as in hop.

What Nev said...

 

[mofox1]

Good luck, fairly sure the only dry July I'd see comes courtesy of a kg of dex in the bill.

It's sounds like a good idea because then my reserves might have a chance to build up. But then as the others have said, there is the swap to take into consideration . Maybe next year.

 

[Wilkensone]

I like it in theory, but I'm in Europe for all of July so it's never going to happen! :beerbang: :beerbang: :beerbang:

 

[indica86]

no, just no.

 

[Waratah67]

Good to see a bit of support and reasons for doing it (or not). I really think this might be one of the harder challenges I have set myself in a while.

 

[Mutaneer]

I've sponsored a mate who's doing it.
$1 for every beer I drink during the month.

I get 2 benefits out of it.
Warm and fuzzy because I've donated
Warm and Fuzzy because i'm half-cut

Nice work if you can get it.

 

[Topher]

I did it a few years ago, it's cool that you can buy yourself a 'golden ticket' if you want a night on the beers. More money for charity!

Gets expensive if ya do buy the ticket too many times though.....

 

[Mattwa]

Yeah I'm out as I'll be in Germany for half of July drinking delicious German beer.

 

[Nullnvoid]

Maybe the guys that are doing it can post up their details so that the less brave of us can donate to the cause?

I wonder if we could do an "AHB Group" thing? dunno how it works.

 

[mje1980]

Know what?, apart from a case swap, which I'll drive to anyway, I've got no real plans on for July. Itd probably be good for my rehab, and health in general so I might do this. Not officially but still.

Might convince the mrs, though she barely drinks so she'll breeze it in.

 

[Waratah67]

I created a team for us here, people can join and donate direct to the charity.

I'm in it this year too. swmbo doesn't think I can last a month without beer. I intend to prove her right h34r:

 

[GABBA110360]

I think i'd rather donate a redback and keep the dream alive having afternoon sips

 

[thebigwilk]

I've been trying to explain to the missus for the last three weeks I am partaking in Monsoon June as a bit of a lead up to dry July (She's not buying it).

 

[Topher]

I just signed up!

Bloody hell.

No good can come from a dry July. About 10 years ago I started the "dry July". I made it 28 days and then was diagnosed with sinus cancer. Was told that there was nothing that could be done and the surgeon said all he could do was pray for me. Well God came through, two operations later and my life being turned upside down........no more cancer, and I have not missed a beer day since.
I thank God everyday........for beer
