To think "Dry January" is a crap idea?

[Slippery]

Why bother? Just drink in moderation. It makes it sound like you have a drink problem.

And for those who expect to be SPONSORED to do it ... Bollocks to that!

I'm having a Dry January

Dry cider, dry white wine, dry cider...

I have a January birthday which sucks enough without half my mates not wanting to go out due to dry January!

Why can't they go out and not drink alcohol?
(Unless thr point of the birthday is to get drunk/ they are incapable of going out without alcohol)

Those of us who are rare drinkers or teetotal manage just fine celebrating birthdays and going out.

ChelleDawg2020 agree!

I can easily run 5k. In fact I can run indefinitely. Cant everyone? What's the big deal about that? In fact everyone SHOULD be able to easily manage to run indefinitely. Why on earth do people make a big fuss about managing a pathetic 5k and expect me to sponsor them? If I was so unfit that a three mile run was a challenge of any sort, I'd be too embarrassed to advertise the fact! How gauche!

I appreciate this is not a perfect rebuttal but there is a point in there. We don't all live perfectly healthy lives. Anything to improve our health is for the good. Many people who've done it have found it confers benefits.
