A light hearted post because it is the middle of Winter, the economy continues to limp along and there is enough "serious stuff" going on in the world.
Each year I give up alcohol for four weeks, in fact two years ago I gave it up for longer, as preparation for a charity boxing match I volunteered for ... The Fight for the Cure! However the "norm" is four weeks without alcohol, and it usually starts around the beginning of the year, lasting four weeks ... that I have called Kevuary for the last five years (my own ficticious month).
There are a few reasons why I do this:
- It is a good way to make sure alcohol is a "nice to have" rather than a "must have".
- It helps with my annual post holiday season weight loss.
- It is a demonstration that I still have some willpower!
