Starting today, I’m going 30 days without alcohol.
Which makes the target end date August 1.
If you don’t think I can make it, I’m taking bets.
Felix was the first to sign up.
$100 dinner is on the line.
And to entice you to take this bet.
I have a lot of social functions coming up.
July 4th.
Cause for Drinks.
Behance and PSFK “We Like You” Party in SF.
The list goes on and on.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1.  Why am I doing this?
I really want to see what I feel like without alcohol.
I’m imagining tons of energy, productivity, etc.
Instead of the drowsiness, being tired, depressed, hungover, etc.
If cutting out alcohol has more benefits than drinking, I think I’ll cut it down a lot.

2.  Are you still going to go out?
Yes, I still plan on to go out to bars and meet new people.
I just won’t drink.
I’m imagining that I’ll probably go out to eat, exercise more, read more, etc.
I think life will be great if it doesn’t revolve around alcohol.

3.  How will I know if you don’t sneak a drink?
Because I’m honest.
And because I’m not an alcoholic.
I don’t NEED to drink.
I just drink because it’s fun thing to do with my friends.
If I sneak a drink, everyone will know because it’ll be in public.
I’m not the “come home after work and crack open a beer” type of person.

4.  Why make it into a bet?
Why not?  I’m doing it more for myself but since so many people think it’s an impossible feat for me, why not make it into a bet.

So, there it is.
