I think this is a great challenge, but I don't drink enough. I think I might have one drink a month. And that's a maybe! lol, but this is a great idea for a lot of people. I'm sure many will see changes given that alcohol is very high in calories!0

I should really get in on this. My love of wine isn't helping my weight loss much. lol
Edited to add: plus I wouldn't have this lil hangover now :O0 -

Still going strong although it hasn't really been difficult lol. I think I may give up drinking altogether because I honestly don't miss it.0

Only seeing this challenge now. I had decided myself to try give up all alcohol for the month of August. I do a lot of running races July,August and September and was hoping to improve my times on previous years by giving up. Unfortunately on the 24th of July I had a bike accident on the way to work which has stopped me running for a while. I decided to still go ahead with my dry August and so far have done great, not touching a drop. I've been to a few social occassions but have put myself forward as designated driver each time so as not to be tempted once there.
Well done to everyone so far.
I'm now drooling looking at my pic of me with a pint of Guiness0 -

As a former Marine, it is part of our tradition to drink so what I did was switch from Cabernet (170 cal.) per glass back to my Scot heritage of Jameson's and ginger which is only 100 per glass. 3 glasses saves you 210 calories not includiing the workout you are doing. Just from a different point of view. Semper fi!0

Alcohol free August foir me so far!.0 -
I had 5 days that I knew I wouldn't be able to do this month. So far, I have only had a drink (or a few...) on the days that I had planned. And I'm drinking A LOT less on those days than I used to.
I'm calling it a victory. :laugh:0 -

Just saw this today. I stopped on August 13th. My plan is to make it, not only to the end of August, but to the end of the year...and beyond. I find that it adds no value to my life and my pursuit of longevity. I quit for 19 months from August 2010 to February 2012 and then I went golfing in FL with a bunch of guys. How can you not drink on a golf vacation???
Anyway, good luck to all.0
