Dry July

@gt12 When your graduate student starts talking about taking the civil service exam, and she has fallen way behind on any kind of image analysis, but you'll be a sucker and just do it anyway - you are respectable by any metric, because otherwise you'd be a bum who isn't getting published.

Ha ha, I like that measure because I certainly match up with the last five words!

@voodoo this sounds like a very bad idea... Isn't it dry-January anyway?

Friday Gin will not come soon enough for me this week

FIFY

I think it is something where people who don't drink much become even more boring.

Snowy

Well whose fucking stupid idea was it? Who is the idiot that thought his could be a thing?

Just confirms my perception of the general populace. Stupid. We'll have people following Scientology next. Twats.

Bad morning for me and I need a drink already. Koru club warning.

I leave for Queenstown today and will be smashed for 4 days.

Yep, going great so far, ask me again at lunchtime

In case that wasn't clear:

Fucking NO!

@voodoo I have had a dry week (since Monday) so far, but then I only drink on Fri/Sat/Sun anyway, that said, on average I'd only drink 6 beers and 3 fingers of whisky a week anyway.

Last night, after realising I'd rationalised my way into getting well boozed, I was thinking I should keep an "Alcoholic's Diary" - keeping track of my ridiculous rationalisations when drinks shouldn't be had, and perhaps a count of drinks... so I could look back on it, and realise how fucking stupid I am.
And then along comes this thread - I think I've found the perfect medium for said Journal.

If this involved horizontal rather than alcoholic refreshment then we’d have few problems….

It’s funny. I drink very rarely (maybe once a month) but the thought of not being able to has suddenly given me a strong urge to have one.

I've said it (or thought it at least) before, but I'll say it again. Fuck you man, just fuck you
