Could you go a month without alchohol?

I could do a month easily, and have done in the past.. it's these poor addicts who are all cirrhosised up with fucked up circulation and that I feel bad for. "Modern man is drinking and drugging himself out of awareness.." Some people can't stand base reality, the drudgery and shit, so they seek to 'get high' and drink is lthe obvious, legal and pervasive. Says a lot about life I think.

About yours, maybe. I drink because I like to.
 
If I had to, I’m sure I could do so quite easily. I can comfortably go Monday-Friday without a drink, so a weekend would be no drama, but admittedly look forward to a drink after any abstinence.
 
Have done one and two month stints over last two years with the aim of cutting down but always end up drinking twice as much after abstinence. Now I try to keep it to one night a week. Working so far. Think the key to it with me is, “I can drink but choose not to”.
 
Every friend I know who has had to quit drinking due to a DUI has said the same thing....this sobriety nonsense is way over rated.

If I was away from booze I know I'd suffer no withdrawl symptons, probably just miss it for a while
 
Do it regularly, today is the start of a 27 day sabbatical before the Pike Fold Golf and Beer Festival on the 14th July.
 
Used to enjoy a drink most weekends, nothing mad, just to relax.

Now we have twins (they have just had their 1st birthday) drinking is pretty much impossible. There is simply not time when I am at home, the thought of getting up through the night pissed, is quite irresponsible, and getting up in the morning feeling dreadful doesn't bear thinking about. Having twins is unrelenting & exhausting.

I do spend a lot of time way from home, so I do mange a few beers here and there.

In fact, I'll have a month of beer right now. Going to spend the rest of the week with the family - got a 4 hour drive coming up :( then I am on a 3 week course with work and there won't be any drinking on that.

So yeah, easy.
 
Whenever I get a banging hangover I promise myself I’m never drinking again. Lasts a couple of weeks but then I’m back in.

If I wasn’t so fucked out of my nut, I would give an in depth reply to that assertion.
 
I actually did dry January this year, never done it before. Was actually relativey easy to do and I see why people generally do it in Jan as it’s a depressing month anyway and people have usually hammered it over Xmas so nice time to give liver a rest.
