#soberjanuary is all too real. Worst day we've had since we've been open.That tweet above is pretty much the inspiration for this post. I've only ever heard of another human being participating in "Sober January" when my girlfriend took me to a holiday party at the home of her mother's friend just before New Years. For this couple, it was apparently customary to abstain from consuming alcoholic beverages throughout the first month of each year.

Now I'm only assuming this, but something tells me this has something to do with the throngs of New Years resolutionists that clog up our local health clubs. I guess that it's quite possible to want to work out and cut out alcohol altogether.
What I'm here to say is that I'm living proof that you can still drink occasionally and still lose up to 30 pounds! I was one of those resolutionists that joined a gym (I know I beat this like a dead horse) last year. I've stuck to it and renewed for another year. I know everyone's body reacts to things differently, but I feel that a few big keys for me was cutting out products loaded with sugar and not eating a lot after I've had a few drinks.
I also understand that some people out there would do something like this to remind themselves that they're still in control. That's perfectly fine. I do the same for Lent since I'm Catholic and a terrible one at that.
