Anyone with me in giving up alcohol completely for the month of September? I actually started this past August but I'm on board for the month of Sept. :)

It will suck to not have a beer when football is on but oh well. It's only for a month! :sad:

    My first thought was "great idea!" My second thought was "I have a wedding with a bunch of people I don't know on September 2!" So umm... yeah I will not be participating in this one, but good luck to you ;)

    There are far too many Fridays and Saturdays in September. I am giving up shaving, though.

    You're not getting much company here are you? But it's a good way to cut empty calories, so I'm with you.

    Me, please.

    Wait, Can I drink one glass of red on September 1st? It's a cruise/party/bash/fest thingy and it's one of those times of the year when I'm normally on vacation, so i'm a bit sad.
    /ending excuses. :)

    I'll join you! Not only could I do with saving calories, I could do with saving money too... Bring it on!

    I'll do. Pretty simple (not easy) for me. Went through alcohol/drug treatment 30 years ago. Have had nothing since.

    No way. I'm gonna party like a rock star for my birthday month.

    But I do enjoy the fact that your profile picture is a dog sh*tting on sh*tsburgh logo.

    That's why I backed out of no alcohol august. Turns out they weren't even serving alcohol at the wedding -.- shoulda pregamed that one.
  • Oh my gosh...I don't know if I can do it. Really. It's a fantastic idea, seeing as how every time I choose to drink, I end up over on calories. =/ I will have to think about it. Maybe it'll be easier to think of as just 4-5 weeks...Not a forever kind of deal...

    I'm always sober. Can I join anyway? ;)

    I was going to start a thread asking the same thing. I'm doing on a wine hiatus. No wine in September, to see what happens with my weight and measurements.

    I *may* decide to have vodka/club soda at friday work happy hour, but may not.

    But, I'll join and say: no wine in september.
  • I don't drink very often as it is, so I might just accidently join
