Dry JUNE Challenge

[Melbourne12]

I must admit that I make exceptions for weddings. It seems wrong somehow to toast the happy couple with diet Coke

[Melbourne12]

I’m going to try this no-alcohol gin stuff.

It absolutely needs tonic water to taste right. IMO bitter lemon or gin-based-cocktail ingredients don’t work as well. YMMV of course.

I am 2/2, good start for me.

2/2… looking for 100% this month!

3/3 for me.
Sunday night is usually the tester. I really intend not to falter though.

[ilpirata]

3/3. Seedlip going down very nicely.

[Big_Fella]

I got some. Arrived today. Do you just do tonic and lemon or the elderflower and cucumber thing?

Interesting taste. Wife hates it - result!

[Brickhouse]

Had a BBQ today. No beer!!

3/3

Tonic and lime personally but I’m sure you can experiment with the ‘garnish’. It might need something with a little more ‘oomph’ - went to a gin tasting evening with a Scottish gin company and they used green pepper. Sounded bizarre until you tried it, matched their gin perfectly.

It’s not gin - give me a proper G&T any day - but it’s a reasonable alternative. Got a couple more people into it yesterday. Today might be a virgin mojito day though

As predicted yesterday’s stag couldn’t have been further away from being dry but apart from the toasts on the wedding day itself on the 17th I have no intention of blotting my copybook any further

I agree entirely! My wife says if it’s not the real thing why pretend, I disagree. Some of this is about habits, some are harder to break than others. I always have a beer when I BBQ, it would be wrong not to! Now it’s a Nanny State, that’s a habit not broken, but changed for the better.

4/4 here.

Confident I can go the course this month.

[Big_Fella]

3/4, happy with a clean weekend!

[Craig_D_Stockhill]

had watermelon and apple J20 with Sunday lunch, nice taste, refreshing and only a fraction of the calories compared to a glass of wine!

4/4 here and feeling determined!

[ilpirata]

5/5, calling today already. Later this week it will get tough, conference time. Luckily Beck’s Blue appears to be more and more common in pubs, if I can find it in the fridge in my local it should be OK at the conference. If not, then it’s supermarket and minibar-fridge time

[smithr82]

Marked up until next Monday just so I’m not tempted at all during the week

[Brickhouse]

5/5 here, yup called it early I’m that confident!!

Joking aside as much as I fancy a beer I will not be tempted.

[Big_Fella]

I’m in 4/5.
