Dry January? Fuck off. Any time of year, if i want a drink, I'll have a drink. If I don't, I won't.

Peace & goodwill at Christmas? Again, fuck off. Archaic virtual signalling based, inaccurately, on a fairy tale. Peace and goodwill all the time or don't bother. Guaranteed that suicide bombers wish peace & goodwill to all (that matter) as they press the button.

Happy New Year? What makes that particular day relevant? A virtual signal from way back, that's what. Happy Spring's coming would be much more relevant to all those who rely on the earth (not Tescos) to provide their daily bread.
Fuck me you are one old miserable prick as well as being as grass and creepy old raspberry

Dry your eyes you fanny.

You get called a nonce because of what you did to that young girl in Cambodia (and then bragged about on here).

stay away from the kids in 2026.

The same as that. I live in Canterbury, a big student and tourist town. I can make it to about 10 pm and then go home . The zero Guinness and Stella out of spoons, I can get on with.

My resolution will be to ditch the weeknight glasses of wine at home and only drink on the weekend or if out and then more moderately. Wine and Beer and no spirits.  Not a fan of bingey things.

As someone who’s birthday is in January, I can say with absolute correctness that dry January is a load of fucking bullshit that’s completely crap for anyone with a birthday in this month that people with birthdays on other months will never comprehend.

Called time really on the booze when I stopped playing pool down the pub over 10 years ago. Used to drink Thursday, Fri, Sat and Sun where I did the quizzes in the pub and drinks were free whilst I did it.  Then one day just woke up and realised I hated the taste of beer!  Go out rarely now but may have a brandy and coke, or on holiday a few brandies or cocktails but that's it.  Easier as well to just drink soft drinks out then drive home, saving on a cab or long walk. Helped that I've never drunk at home.

Its a good way to cover up 'skint january' 

Christmas doesn't end until 6th anyway so I think it's ok to carry on till then. If you need someone to tell you what to do you're probably better off giving up drink during Lent, when it's a bit brighter and warmer.

I think "Fuck the fuck off" just about covers it.

If you can't handle your drink intake over Christmas, or other times, such that you need (NEED) to abstain for a while, then you're simply a weak-willed cսnt.

It's non-debatable, so don't try and defend your social insecurities.
Or you're a weak willed cսnt that doesn't give a fuck!
That might be me...
 
 
That probably sums me up, too. Drunk far more (per week) after I retired - wherever I happened to be - than I ever did in my debauchery-driven youth. 

Problem is, while I'm in Thailand, with its choice of shit beer or shit beer, I hit the imported wine like it's going out of fashion. Might even buy an extra case for January to help with climate change, obviously.
