Not a Resolution

I'm trying to stay sober for the entire month of January, 2008. It's proving to be more difficult than I thought, because I'm finally learning just how much alcohol is part of my daily life.

Turns out that I have a drink in some way or form nearly every day of the week.

Not drinking has helped show me how much I drink. Let's have a look at the social events that I've attended recently and the alcohol that has been going around the table.

1. New Year's night wind down drinks @ the neighbourhood bar with new friends. Good conversation, easy laughter.

Present: House white, House red, Hoeegarden, Tiger.
I Drank: Coffee, Fresh Detox Juice (cucumber, celery, apple, capsicum), ice water

2. First Friday Random Dinner & Drinks with Old Old Friends and New New Friends @ Palate Pallete. Easy Conversation, great laughter, plenty gossip.

Present: Tiger by the Bucket, House white, House red, Gin and Tonics, Mojitos.
I Drank: Ice Lemon Tea x3, Soda Water with Ice & Lemon x 2

3. Late Night Rendezvous with My Bro @ the other neighbourhood bar. Future planning, ho' smackin', cracklin' good time.

Present: 2 bottles x White Wine, Black Label & Soda, Whisky cokes
I Drank: Bitter Lemon with ice.

4. Waffle Breakfast with the theatre family. GREAT food, brilliant company, and UNO (with intercept) and crazy picture taking session.. and honey fried bacon. Yum.

Present; Champagne, Mr.Pimm's No#1, Kahlua
I drank: Coffee, Lemonade, Orange Juice, Water, Ice Cube

5. Late Night Solo Sashimi Dinner with unexpected guest. Shop talk, but the kind that doesn't make you want to steal things from your bosses.

Present: Sake bottles
I drank; Hot tea

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is difficult, but I'm sure I could give myself a month sans alcooooool.

If my deodorant can do it, I can too.

Happy New Year people
