A different kind of drinking game...not as fun but good for you!

Hey hey, here's the deal. I've been trying to cut out or cut down on alcohol in the hopes of being healthier and losing a few pounds to reveal my toned muscles. I'm convinced that this alcohol is my downfall because my diet is pretty healthy otherwise, and I excersize  few times a week. I usually have a drink on more days that I dont. I work at a bar and I'm in my 20s so naturally the temptation is always there. I always try to keep my consumption to no more than 7 drinks a week, but some drinks are bigger than others.

Anywhoo, here's the challenge. I need someone who at first, is willing to go until the weekend resisting temptation. Then, if that works out, keep going how we see fit, week by week, for a mnth, whatever.  I just think its easier to accomplish goals like this when you're accountable to someone else. Who's in to be the next DD until Saturday?? :P

I'm fine until the weekend...only one more day!

I challenge you to limit yourself to 1 per day on the weekend...your state must have a lower drinking age than mine for you to work in a bar.

I'm in! =)

No drinks on the weekends? awww guys but its summer! lol hence the difficulty of this game.

Lol I knowww that will be really tough!! so far I've gone since sunday without a drink!! I'm plannin on gettin it on tonight! I'm also 25 so definately old enough to work in a bar...and belieeeves you me, it does not help. Who's in on the no drinks during the week with me?

oHHHH is this a weekend thing or during the week cause im fine for during the week and most weekends with the exception of this one! i also work in a bar! i knwo what you mean about it not helping

i just did four days without alcohol and right now i would kill for a glass of redwine, but will resist because i know one glass turns into quite a few....

so yes: i think this challenge will be good for me - but we're talking weekdays only, right?

Yup, lets agree on doin just a weekend thing, and for those who are ok during the week, limit your weekend drinking to 2-3 or 1-2? Whatever is reasonable for you....are we in??? (I say this as I have my first glass of wine in 5 days teehee, man is it good with dinner!)

absolutely! And, ahhh, I hope you enjoyed that one glass of red wine...

Okay, so the weekend is over - ish. But the drinking definately is. I had 3 vodka sodas last night at my girlfriend's goin away party...and now we must look forward to next weekend. How did everyone else do?

I didn't drink Friday or Saturday at all - but Sunday I had three large beers.... my cousin arrived from abroad...and I must confess that I had a small beer with her for lunch today - we're vacationing ( I guess that's a bad excuse) - but will try to do better for the rest of the week....

ah i have bad excuses too! went out to the cabin with the girls and was dehydrated so they handed me a vodka water ... couldnt resist.

snehvide- atleast you didnt have four large beers! could have been worse!

k ladies, new week....the weekend was debauchery but I didn't do toooo bad just on friday. This week is gonna be easy, I work early mornings! I also lost 1lb!! Yeaaah!
