Booze Project: Day 2
January 4th, 2010Just kidding. It’s not really a project, just a tradition. For the third year running, I’m going to forego any alcohol for the month of January. I got the idea from my friend David Trappe, who is no teetotaler. It seems like a good idea: I give my liver a month off from processing the toxin alcohol, and prove to myself that I don’t have a drinking problem.
Truth is, I’ve already screwed it up. January 1st was mired in airmiles, and I couldn’t pass up those delicious tiny airplane drinks — they make time go faster! Then I got home and had to celebrate that, etc. But as of yesterday, I’m on the mini-wagon. Giddyup, time-horses!
Truth is, I screwed this up in previous years as well. It seems I always break down a few days before February. But this time will be different. Why? Because I’m a blogger now! How could I steal a drink with the whole Internet watching? I wouldn’t dare.
Anyway, nothing deep to report here. Just be warned that I’m going to get all sober on your ass. If you’re headed our for a night of serious drinking, I’ll take a raincheck.

I’ll see you at Lucky Lab on Thursday. I may report you to the Internet.
No, I wouldn’t do that. Anyway, this sounds like a neat tradition.
