  • Anyone not 'drinking' this New Year?

    I’ve decided on a ‘dry’ New Year. Racing the Puffer24 solo following weekend.
    Not going down too well with a few friends who think I’m taking it all ‘too serious’ but my wife’s happy to go for a good meal instead. And I’m sure we can have a ‘night-cap’ if we feel the need (just the one to take in the bells).
    Out on the bike Sunday morning – no hangover – ohh yes. (I know, I’ll admit that I am getting old 😀 but I don’t really care!)

    Hi Martin. Not decided yet. Heard Fyrish was waterlogged. Worse than Contin big time. Will see how the weather holds up.

    Hoping to call in tomorrow to catch up if your working.

    Not drunk in best part of 15 years, so another “dry” NYE for me!

    Will probably be working too anyway, so no biggie.

    booze won’t help according to the quack..

    After working late/early, on-call or nights every NYE since the millenium, I am drinking tomorrow night. Although just at home with our four beshtest friends so probably nothing horrendous…

    I’m also dry because of digestive issues, quite happy to do so, I’ll probably be in bed for 10 anyway 😛

    Yep, me. I’m pretty much done with drinking completely apart from a very rare social pint like today. But I don’t see any logic in alcohol in all honesty.

    Won’t be drinking that night and not sure when I will again

    I won’t be.

    WTF is an imperial century? Doesn’t sound very British if it requires sobriety.

    I am considering getting a nice bottle of malt and getting smashed with a few mates in the house.

    Been exactly a year since I last drank. Will do when I get to target weight. (2st off, another 2st to go).
    No place for booze if I’m keen on shifting weight.

    No drinking for me either, never really drink but have a ride planned over the hour of midnight tomorrow anyway. Won’t miss it at all!

    Surely it’s a 100+ mile ride with minty sweets?

    I will be drinking on behalf of you lot and may accidentally shout your usernames once inebriated in tribute. I’m glad “anus” hasn’t contributed yet.

    I have a lot of respect for those that forego the temptation and participate among the drunken idiots without damaging their own brains. Here’s to you *raises a glass of Weston’s*

    I’ll be dry. Possibly driving around Sunday morning and planning on getting up at 6am for an early ride before my 6 year old wakes up. No he’ll not be left alone, his mother’s in the house. Maybe I’ll get back in time to make them breakfast :o)

    Being a good guy grey and babysitting so my brother can go get smashed, so doubt I will bother drinking.

    Just can’t be bothered that much any more!

    So an imperial century is…..a century.

    Anyone thinking a metric century can have its prefix omitted is quite clearly wrong.

    I’m going to try. Not had a drink since Boxing Day, been drinking far too much in recent years and decided enough is enough, can’t say I won’t drink again but I hope I don’t.

    Looks like a dry one due to digestive issues here as well, although with 2 kids under 5 it was never going to be a big night anyway.
