Dry January Hump Day



Dry January Hump Day

It only takes 30 days to create a habit be a good or bad one. A lot of people are taking on the Dry January challenge in the New Year as opposed to resolutions and fitness regimens. Lets face it the easiest way to lose the beer gut with minimal exertion is to drop the beer completely. A good start would be to drop all things alcohol for at minimum thirty days. My husband participates every January without fail but he prepares well in advance for the change. Of course, he binges on New Years Eve starting when the night is young having cocktails and sparkling wine. But before the holiday mail rush he orders himself a generous supply of alcohol free spirits and beers to suppress the urge. One year he went as so far as hiding all of the alcohol in the house which make me shriek as I assumed we had been robbed. Communication is key. I also know his weird botanical syrups and basil limos have a special place in the fridge next to the tonic and alkoholfreis. I honestly think the whole thing is stupid and it should head straight for the brown bin with Whole30 and No Shave November. But if you think starting your new year especially while the world is burning in 2020 without something stiff go for it. I support you but I bet now that you've reached the halfway mark - if you did without cheating - that you fucking regret it. I am sorry but there aren't enough rhubarb refreshers on Earth that can replace a gin & jam.

Fick!
