So inspired by one of my best friends decision to do the same this last January, I have decided, for a number of reasons, to go dry for this month. In a city in which most residents forsake petrol for alcohol as a source of fuel, this is a pretty big deal, hence my repurposing of the college basketball term.
It's something that has been on my mind for quite some time, as upon reflection, upon moving to New York, there have been more drink-related black-outs than I would care to recall. While I'm certain I don't qualify as an alcoholic, there have been too many wasted weekend days recovering in front of the television while I try fruitlessly to recall where I went the evening before ("I know I started at G, then we went to Barracuda, after that things get fuzzy...").
Coming off of March, I'm going to embark on the 5 drink plan, meaning that in any given evening I will consume no more than 5 drinks, which for some is probably a lot, but for me is sort of that cutting point between having fun and getting ill. And obviously on school nights this will be much less.
Anyhow, I'm happy to report that as of this Sunday evening, March 8th, mission has thus far been accomplished. Admittedly I refrained from participating in much nightlife, making it much easier, but I still had a good, productive weekend.
