Dry January week 3 for me in Ireland

avatar
(Edited)

A slight thirst

It's no secret that I'm the designated driver for Beer Saturday for the month of January. As a result it's no beers for me again this week and for the next ten days too. I'm over halfway through now and it's been grand to be honest, no huge temptation yet, but I'm starting to develop a tiny bit of a thirst now. The lack of hangovers is mighty though to be fair. As the years pass by the hangovers definitely get that little bit worse.

Just because I'm not swamping Guinness or necking IPAs though, does not mean I'm going to miss Beer Saturday.

I always really enjoy @detlev's weekly Beer Saturday contests, and seldom miss a week, so I will continue to take part, even during my self imposed Dry January. I'll just think back on beers I had before or good beer related stories to give you guys some content.

Thinking back on IPAs

I do like a good tasty cold IPA and here are a few from days gone by.

No beers, so what to do?

Well I could walk these little beauts... And they absolutely love their walks too.

Or I could bring the family for a walk in beautiful Connemara which is right here on our doorstep...

Did you ever try going dry?

Did any of guys ever give Dry January a go? I'd highly recommend it to be honest, especially after the hustle and bustle and over indulgence of Christmas.

I'm only 13 days in, but so far so good and not so much as an inkling of temptation as of yet. My brother did it with me last year and continued it on for 4 months, fair dues to him. One month was enough for me and I really enjoyed the few pints in early February I must admit.

Ha ha, yes indeed. The best things in life are free. Isn't that what they say. I really do agree with that outlook. It really makes sense...

Holy shit what a post!

Who says you have to drink beer to play with the #beersaturday crew? A few memories, living vicariously through others while enjoying a dry Jan and a walk in the countryside!

One of those dogs looks like my little guy too! The ears look a little too fluffy to be a brittany spaniel but same character!

Your dog is adorable!!! Very like our Springer Coco for sure.

It seems a bit weird posting in Beer Saturday and not actually having a beer, but hey, only one week to go now! 🥳
