Oh I was singing karaoke at the work night out for a start.... I'm not counting up!

I have personally drunk approx 1.5l of gin, 20 bottles wine, 5 Prosecco and about 10 pints of beer since 14 December.... and only one hangover. And I will be dry for a month from 7th January (it's my birthday this weekend!)

2 pint bottles of ginger beer and about 150-175ml of rum (6/7 single measures)

Barrel loads. Only the crazy would try to count it.

Four bottles of wine (we had twelve but shared between two plus some guests) around five bottles of beer - we had 24 of those and there are two left, but more went to guests and OH than me. Four gins in one night at the pub.

I'm a bit surprised by pps, as I thought I had actually drunk all the wine. I'm on dry January after the weekend and my body cannot wait.

I calculated that during December, between my social life and work-related festive networking / champagne receptions, I averaged 100 units of alcohol per week. I drink a lot at the best of times but that shocked even me, tbh. But it was relatively easily done as I was out 4/5/6 nights each week, drinking several glasses of champagne or large glasses of wine plus cocktails each time etc.

Am attempting Dry January mostly as I’m running two ultramarathons and doing an Ironman this month and I could do with the clear-headedness for training.

Definitely 80-100 units a week in the last fortnight. Mostly wine, supplemented with gin, prosecco and champagne.

Not doing dry January but the scale-back will be significant.

It was fun though.
