I don't drink much but I find January is the month to do it. In December I'm the one who drives everyone about on Christmas day, boxing day and I'm usually in the shops or driving somewhere in the week in between, on newyears eve I find I'm driving to see my DGD, this year she stayed over so I did not have a drink, I had to drive her home and I took her to the park, so no drinks then either. I finally had a glass of gin later on new years eve, never having had gin before I thought it was a sort of alcopop and I nearly choked, I had an enormous glass of tonic with it and I still felt tipsy, I fell asleep immediately, On the 2nd I had a glass of wine, very small but again I fell asleep, so I will have a small glass just to use it up as no one else I know drinks alcohol. so sod dry January but it will be dry the rest of the year.
