It is amazing how many people in my office are now going drink free and some of them forever like me. Certainly Dry January helps, but the fact that I have been working there for over four months, have enjoyed all the lunches, entertaining and other after-work activities and been alcohol free seems to have started a trend, and the realisation that you don't need alcohol to have fun and it means anything but the fact you are boring.
Everyone seems far happier, everyone has lost weight which makes them feel wonderful and all feel fitter and more alert. One unlikely chap even went to a 40th party last weekend and stayed dry. he said he felt great, drank fizzy water made to look like a G&T to stop himself being pestered, and drive a number of the drunken attendees home. His only concern is that the conversation with many of his mates was so boring after they became drunk and he realised there was no point talking to them as they wouldn't even remember what was being said. He ended up chatting to the three other people at the party who were also off the booze.
It really is such a nice environment to work in!
