    We get tons of good free beer and cider :neutral: it's part of the reason I'm the way I am. Feel free to add me as well!

    Hi all! I want to not drink any alcohol in the month of August to see if this helps with my weight loss. Is anyone else in the same boat and wants to join me? I love my after-work vodka's but they are too many empty calories!

    I'm in. Coming over from the dry July thread... I went 3/4 of July with no alcohol and I lost some weight, saved money, but the best part was what it did to my skin. I literally look younger. I want to continue into August!

    I'm in! Definitely need the motivation. Have a vacation trip coming up at the end of the month, but hopefully I can see it through!

    I don't want to sound like a cliché but I'm an Irish guy so you can imagine the culture of drinking here.

    I think this is a great idea.

    I'm in! Alcohol is my biggest downfall... Generally have rum, brandy, cider or champagne.

    I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth. I work at a bar so that makes things a bit challenging. Especially when my boss is like "you want a beer?" Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

    How is everyone doing? I find myself literally having to think of things to do to fill my time. I think I'm going to download some books.

    Alright. I honestly failed horribly this weekend. But we were at a memorial birthday party and I couldn't offend the parents. But I'm still in this. Better two days late than never...? I also gained like 5 pounds this weekend too. I have been punished.

    I also did dry July and had my first real day of drinking this past Saturday. Definitely reminded myself why I decided to cut back in the first place. Too much alcohol and not enough food led to a pretty bad hangover on Sunday. Back at it today and plan to keep the drinking at a minimum the rest of the month.

    I lost a total of 8 so far... 6 from when I gave up alcohol. Hope my two day slip didn't make me gain.
