Dry January argument.

[socktastic]

Every year my husband and I have a running bet. Every january he tries dry January and we have the bet that if he manages I buy him a curry. If he doesn't, the curry is on him.

I have won the curry every year.

This year he has been incredibly good all January and hasn't had a single drop. Until this evening. He had a nip of whisky at 6.

He insists though that he has completed dry January but I'm adamant he hasn't because it isn't midnight...

Do I let him off or stick rigidly to the rules?

Aw amazing achievement , buy him a curry !

Oh, he's fucked himself over at the last minute.

Ask him what today's date is. It's still January.

No. He gets no curry bought for him. He had whisky.

It's still January.

Technically you're right but I'd probably let him off given how close he's got!

I agree - buy him a curry! He has obviously had to resist temptation multiple times seeing as he's never managed it before.

Come to a compromise maybe? You buy the curry if he buys the wine? You may as well both drink if you're counting dry jan as over in some form

Or if youre feeling really generous, if his last drink was 6pm on the 31st of December, ill allow it as a win.

Just buy a curry and stop being petty

I'm doing dry Jan for the first time and won't be having a drink tonight as it's still Jan.

Oh just buy him a curry. He’s done really well and it’s Feb tomorrow

I’d probably accept 28 days as a month

Although I’m not allowing myself an end to Veganuary until after midnight

No, it’s still January. He lost the bet, again.
