Dry January week 2 for me in Ireland

Still Going Strong

As I was telling ye last week, I am doing Dry January this year, so no beers for me again this week and for the next two weeks too. It's halfway through the month now and all good. It's a worthwhile thing to do every now and then. Zero hangovers on Saturday mornings before I take my kids to Soccer training is pretty sweet too I must admit.

As I was saying last week though, I really enjoy @detlev's weekly Beer Saturday contests, so I will continue to take part, even during my self imposed Dry January. I'll just think back on beers I had before or good beer related stories to you some content.

Thinking back on Holiday

Did you ever try going dry?

Did any of guys ever give Dry January a go? I'd highly recommend it to be honest, especially after the hustle and bustle and over indulgence of Christmas.

I'm only 13 days in, but so far so good and not so much as an inkling of temptation as of yet. My brother did it with me last year and continued it on for 4 months, fair dues to him. One month was enough for me and I really enjoyed the few pints in early February I must admit.

Great way to lose a few pounds too! Keep it up as long you can. Personally I gave up those kind of resolutions long ago!

True about a few pounds, but I've no problems there, I could probably do with putting on a few pounds tbh! I tend to be 73-76Kg and am 5 ft 11

My grandmother was like that, she could never gain weight and had to eat butter and cream intentionally to maintain weight. I sadly don't have that problem... I have to watch what I eat....
I'm 6 ft 4 and 250, I need to get back down to my old athletic weight of 225 that I had back in college! lol

I’m 6,4 too! Was 260 and lost weight got to 190 but after my knee surgery and months and not being as active I’m back at 230. 195 is the goal.

Always good to have a goal but with a 6,4 frame, you can carry it I'd say.

The auld butter and cream diet, that sounds delicious!!! 😁

At least with a 6'4 frame you can easily carry extra weight without looking overweight.

Healthy living is good though, and good for the mental health too I find. Exercising realises endorphins for the brain and those happy chemicals are good for us to keep us balanced.

Oh, those beer photos are making me want to have a beer. 🍻 I have found a few non alcohol beers that taste almost as good. So I will have one of those. Great to see you on Bilpcoin.com ….

Ya I'd be dry 99% of weekdays unless I'm on holidays. Friday would be main day for a glass of vino or a few beers, except Dry January this year and last year.

It takes a lot of strength to look back on good beer times during a dry month, so kudos to you:)))

Congrats man you are already half way through Dry January! Really taking one for the team here!

I am trying to decide whether I enjoy holiday beers or 7 Guinness pints with friends more. Both are perfect as far as I am concerned and your memories are bringing back pleasant ones of my own.

Here is my social pint of the week as I gathered with 40 close friends for a business anniversary celebration.
