I challenged myself to give up alcohol for the month of January. No particular reason, just wasn't happy with how often I was indulging. As the month went on I lost about 5 to 7 Lbs, and found that I slept better and generally felt better. I don't plan to quit altogether but will definitely slow down going forward.
I actually cheated a little. Margarit and I went out on the evening of January 31st to see a performance of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at the Winspear Center. After the show we stopped for a bite to eat a local pub, and catch the end of the Oilers game. The game wasn't worth watching as the Oilers played terribly and lost 7-3 to the Minnesota Wild. It was about 10:30PM when we ordered our food and I thought I could indulge, and I ordered one beer. So technically it was an hour and a half early. But in my defense I started my period of abstinence almost a week early, on Boxing Day.
