Go Sober for October

[Jasandjules]

I appreciate that this is for the Macmillan nurses and so on, but am I the only person who gets rather annoyed that being able to avoid booze for a single month is considered some sort of major achievement?!

It used to be parachute jump, run a marathon and whatnot. Now it is just "don't get p***ed for a month?"

[StuTheGrouch]

It's a major achievement if I go more than 24 hours without alcohol

I did the Dryathlon in January last year though and raised st loads, as not a single person believed I could do it. Lost a stone in weight too and saved a fortune (which I added to the donation).

I can't remember the last time I got drunk. I had a beer last night though.

Not the most imaginative way of raising money.

Yep, have thought exactly this myself. If its a genuine challenge for you not to drink booze for a month then you need to get help.

Nope, it annoys me. It's not an achievement.

I don't drink alcohol anyway.

Do I have to stay drunk for the whole month or what?

[KingNothing]

I haven't had a drink since the 21st of last month. If not drinking alchol for a month is such a hardship to you, then as mentioned above, you have deeper problems.

Its been months since I've had any alcohol. Im a bit perplexed by the whole idea, I dont think its an achievement at all to abstain from alcohol for any period of time.

Everyones different though, some enjoy it others dont.

I'm drunk right now ffs

and give the money you would have spent on beer to a cause

It's not particularly dynamic thinking, but it's an easy one to get to grips with

Keep an eye out for the drunken riots on November 1st then
