Dry January

If stopping off for a break (e.g. walking or cycling routes), alcohol-free beer for a month! Although it looks like a standard bottle of Heineken, a slightly closer inspection reveals the 0.0%.

At first, I thought the taste lacked that familiar malty note, but now it's more refreshing, doesn't produce sleepiness or headaches and seems to result in better-hydrated skin. The last time I did a whole month 'off' was a few years ago, so I'm determined to maintain the momentum. Ten days so far - not even a Friday evening, Saturday night or Sunday lunchtime "relapse"!
