    I'm in too. I'm one of the one drink leads to three and snacks brigade. Hope to break the cycle and she'd a few pounds into the bargain :)

    I'm in. I drink far too much and if I want to lose the weight, alcohol has to go. I've tried moderation, but stopping completely is easier for me- I usually do it every January. This year, I'm aiming to stay dry at least until my birthday at the end of Feb. It was novel to wake on New Years Day without a hangover!
    Lets go for it

    We'll just post in here. Anyone drinking anything nice tonight? I'm going to have some apple juice later.

    Its one of the things that I find tricky- I don't mind water, especially fizzy, but it does get boring. And I don't want to swap a water-with-alcohol-in habit for a water-with-sugar/artificial-sweetners-in habit! Its amazing how much money you can spend on sugary water in a supermarket :/

    I'm in. I always go overboard with alcohol consumption and since we are trying for a baby this year, I figure a dry January is a good start for pregnancy and so on. I just really hope no one is planning on bringing punch to my bridal shower next week. Luckily the shower is at my house so I can be sure to have some alternatives.

    @SarahKate2710 I'm getting married this year and we will be trying for a baby shortly after so I'm in the same boat as you- thought I may as well start as I mean to go on!

    Hi @SarahKate2710

    Do's are the hardest time to stay away from alcohol for me. Good luck with your shower :)
