I don't drink

And I didn't even notice alcohol was banned...

This year I am spending some of the many thousands I have saved through not drinking on a holiday to India. In mapping out my itinerary I have planned to spend new-year’s eve in the historic town of Hampi. Hampi is a World Heritage site and one of the holiest sites for Hindus. I thought that watching the sunset over the ancient ruins would be a magical way to say thank you to 2017 and to welcome in 2018, and a setting to stir some deep thoughts.

When my Indian agent queried my plans on the basis that alcohol is banned in Hampi, and was I sure I wanted to spend New Year in an alcohol-free zone, I was quite taken back. It simply hadn’t occurred to me, which shows that alcohol really is of no consideration to me whatsoever. What a huge difference from the New Year’s of my past where drink and getting smashed was the main focus and driving concern. Hopefully you can imagine a future time when you too will be so free from booze that it doesn’t even feature in your thought processes.
