i haven't had a drop since Dec 30 and my training has been much the better for it. Sleep soundly, more motivated, looking forward to workouts rather than dreading them. I don't think I can avoid altogether it till race season, but it's really been an eye opener.

Re: Anybody else dry for January? [kiki]

I'm not - but I also rarely drink. In the summer I have beer in the fridge & will have one every couple of days. In the winter on weekends, sometimes I have hot chocolate with Baileys. I'm pretty boring, but I try really hard not to drink my calories, so alcohol doesn't usually occur to me.

I'm pretty much dry all the time - might have a drink or two after a race or on Christmas/birthday, but I probably drink fewer than a dozen days total per year and having 2+ drinks in an evening is more like an annual event.
Cheers!

Yep, my boyfriend and I do no-booze January. I haven't missed it at all this year. Last drink was Dec. 23. Sleep hasn't really improved at all, but I definitely "feel better".

I don't drink a lot anyway, but yup, so far no alcohol.

hmm think I'm seeing a trend here :>
the only downside of not drinking is that my sweet tooth (usually nonexistent) has come on full force. But I figure a random brownie is no big deal. Thanks so much for the input and enjoy your training.

We always start the year with good intentions, but we really like booze.
I'm out. Glass of wine last night.
