It started again! This time we started a few days earlier! The 29th of March, after we saw the aftermath of the 7s.
The rules of the dry-month as laid out by Guy in his Facebook note:
Well then, let us begin.
In what I can now say is the second year running, 30 days of clean(er) living are upon us! Personally, I have just about had it with ye olde booze after a crazy day at the HK Sevens; henceforth, I and diverse companions am about to embark on an arduous journey of fortitude and steadfastness in the Far Eastern city of temptation and substance accessibility.
Let the dry month begin!
Patrick has confirmed that the drymonth blog is still active, and we'll be adding fellow adventurers to it to share the misadventures of trying to say "no" in a city that loves to say "yes". The games begin today, but especially with the notice going out so late in the day (sorry, had to get the Fresco newsletter out the door), if you want to jump in and already had a drink tonight, feel free to adjust your start and end dates by 24 hours and get on the bandwagon tomorrow.
More details to follow.
The terms have simplified a bit over last year, namely:
1. No alcohol
2. Not anything with alcohol in it
3. No taking shots from strangers on stage
4. Ladies night is not an exception
5. Running into old colleagues doesn't excuse you
6. None of Kiri's Magic Water
7. See rule 1 (review as many times as is necessary)
Last year turned out to be fraught with peril, and a terrific party akin to the first glass of water after being stranded in the desert afterwards, and believe me, a drink has never tasted so good in your life!
So take it easy, grow back a few liver cells, and lay off the sauce, at least for as much of the month as you're comfortable with. It feels good. And all the better since Hong Kong doesn't do anything to make it easy.
Cheers,
Guy
