Anybody that knows me knows that I enjoy a drink. Or two. Or thirty. The fact that I work with alcohol in both of my jobs as a DJ and marketing specialst for a beer festival production company means the temptation and ease of sneaking in a cheeky drink while I work is incredibly easy. But I'm giving it all up for twelve solid months.

When I suggested giving up alcohol for January's "dryathlon" people laughed in my face and told me I wouldn't last a week. They were probably right. So I decided to up the ante and actually give myself a reason to stop.

So... I am giving up ALL alcohol for Crisis. This includes my 31st birthday, any holidays I may take and an entire summer of sun, BBQs and garden parties.

Any donations would be hugely appreciated as this is potentially the most difficult thing (apart from coffee) that I could ever sacrifice.

*UPDATE: My father was my first donator and the first person to believe I could actually achieve it. I tragically, completely unexpectedly, lost him just a month later, so my drive to complete this absolutely soared through the roof.
