Forced Dry January (for now...)

I don't know if any of you Dry January, but I'm sure you have heard of it: you basically spend the month without drinking alcohol. I have never done anything like this, I tend to enjoy a pint of beer or a glass of wine before or during my meals, at least at weekends. Well, so far this January, I have remained entirely sober. I have no merit: because of the nasty cold/flu I have, I don't feel like drinking at all. And the fact that I have been jetlagged doesn't help, although it never stopped me before. So circumstances are forcing me to do Dry January for now. I can't wait for it to be over.

"Dry January"

Many of you probably know the concept of Dry January, a campaign that exists here in the UK and elsewhere, sometimes under different names, encouraging people to avoid alcohol for the whole month of January. I am not very fond of these kinds of campaigns, I don't like being preached to and see no point of being a teetotaler if you are not an alcoholic and enjoy alcohol in moderation. In other words, drink responsibly, or else quit drinking altogether. So I was quite amused when I saw very amused when I saw this picture on social media. A friend of mine shared it. I don't know where this pub is, but they got it right, and it's the kind of Dry January I can enjoy.
