To those that actually make it 30 days, welcome to my world! It’s really not so bad. It makes those occasional outings that much better. Until you start climbing trees.

And you CAN dance without drinking. Heck, I can dance without music. In fact, it’s about all I’m known for. Sad, but true.

Sometimes, in the the morning, I drink Svedka shooters just to see how work plays out. Chilled, of course. HAHA! What a glorious experience that has proven to be, my goodness!! Oh golly….. You rotten stiffnecks should give it a try.

Plenty of health nuts have heart attacks. And there are studies that say that men who have a max of two drinks a day are more likely to be heart healthy.

I say a bowl of cheerios drenched in coors light, naturally because I don’t need the calories, and you’re golden.

The real question is, does it need to be 30 consecutive days or is 30 random days throughout the year ok?

John Candy was a vegetarian. He had a thyroid issue.

Sorry gents for not acknowledging sooner.
I’ll be completely honest here: even with the fitness background, yada yada, I doubt I could go two weeks. All of my social interactions revolve around drinking; time with Roomy, Lerds, and coworkers are all through beer goggled eyes.
I applaud those of you who try. It’s not easy. In fact, it’s very goddamn difficult. Hell, I just had four beers tonight for no other reason than: I was cooking and Brad was going to a Cubs game.

No, I know, I just thought it was a very interesting correlation in terms of vocabulary and drinking.

I’m starting this on Saturday, so I guess then I’ll be done on the 8th of June.

Unfortunately mike I know what you mean with that article. I have been reading runnersworld magazine and as it turns out runners love to drink. They pros often talk about their favorite post race drink being wine. I don’t have anything against drinking, I just want to see things without it.

[...] I’ve been a busy, busy individual, but a happy one in many ways. I’m taking up the Healthy Challenge posed by a fellow author, swearing off the suds for 30 days beginning after the Cinco of Mayo [...]

I am weak my friends… I would love to join you in your quest but I am weak. The fact that I am stuck in hartford at my parents for the next 78 days. ( yes I have a whiteboard in my room that reminds me how long I have left) I am indeed making the changes that I needed to do year ago….. but I am addicted to the sweet taste of oberon and wild turkey on a warm spring day…. I wish you all luck I love you and I hope that you will make it… I am out……

Since we spoke about this, I am at least partially mentally prepared for the task at hand. I am willing to participate.

What happens at thirty days? How do we stay accountable?
