Late contender for worst idea of the year?

The thought of going without alcohol for a day is bad enough. This guy at work had a dry September for some health reason. He became really miserable and did not join us for several drinking sessions. He now drinks as much as before and is still fat. He says himself- what was the point?

9 days I went without alcohol after contracting salmonella, 9 whole days ffs. Longest I have ever been without a drink that is.

I tend not to drink from going to bed Sunday evening until the following Friday evening, in other words I'm dry on weekdays. So unless we win the league by a Friday evening following a Sunday then I will have to graciously turn down your very generous offer.
I do however, have an alternative. How about we drink every day until we're promoted and then go get totally shitfaced Ollie Reed style for a couple of non stop weeks? Or what about giving us the alternatives of either? I love my flavoured water far too much to give it up.

I like the idea ....so only do dry substances? powder or leaf based products?

surely you should not be drinking if you are on call for work?

A different kind of pasty
If that were true I would have to be 100% teetotal. I provide second-level support 24/7, 365 days a year, which basically means if the guys that are actually on call can't fix the problem or cannot be contacted, then I'm the escalation point.

January dry - fine, I usually do that anyway. Not keen to sign up for the longer version though, so no thanks.

I am coming up for one year off the booze. I set myself that target but am now just going to keep going. Feel much better for it and no hangovers for a whole year!

Bit of an idea I dreamt up after the QPR game (in the pub!) which I just thought I'd post to get your thoughts on.
This is not so much "Dry Jan" but rather a no alcohol challenge that extends from 2am on 01 January until Albion are either:
A) promoted; or
B) our season finishes.
Currently, we could be promoted as early as 25 February (haha!) but on the flip side the play-off final is on 29 May, with the regular season finishing on 07 May.. Will there be wild celebrations or drowning of sorrows?!
Just wondering what you think of this idea - and if you reckon it's got mileage whether you'd take part in this unofficial NSC challenge?
I bet you're a vegetarien as well?

If you manage your expectations well like Chris Hughton if you fail to gain promotion you go right back to defining your goals and back to work. If you gain promotion, you celebrate for a defined period and then go right to defining your goals and back to work of staying in the PL.

How about I go part of the way with you? I won't touch a drop of sherry, vermouth, vodka, John Smith's or lager. That do?
