Dry January

Bananatropics26

So what's all this dry January stuff about? Why is everyone obsessed with being perfect and trying to achieve some kind of ever lasting human life. We all get old. I never was a fan of the puritan culture in some areas of this country. Like I'm gonna pop the balloon right now by saying this --> nobody and I mean nobody is pure or perfect. Just don't get this whole religion these days of being a good little citizen and doing what your told. Why does it feel like sometimes it's like a massive herd of annoying puritans trying to climb up my behind and force what they think is right on to me. Nah. I am an adult not a child. Don't get me wrong people will judge you for not being sterile like them. Some of these puritans are so superficially squeaky clean that they actually smell like a hospital. That sterile horrible smell of chemicals what a life?

    I don’t think everyone is.

    I haven’t come across what you are talking about out regarding a ‘puritan culture’ and ‘being a good citizen’ is more about contributing to society in a positive way, e.g, volunteering for a charity or not causing harm to others.

    Many people participate in ‘Dry January’ as the community aspect or thought of many persons abstaining from alcohol at the same time is motivating. Many people have a dry month as there is scientific evidence that it can contribute to the liver recovering from alcohol damage. Some people abstain because they like the feeling of being in control of their alcohol intake, rather than allowing alcohol to control them.

    For the last six years I have abstained from alcohol for 31 days because I was interested in whether or not I would feel any different and because I believed it would benefit my health. I always begin my dry month from mid to late August as it feels right at that time.

    I don’t drink very often now so it mightn’t be worth my while doing a dry month this year.

    You just said what I said in a different way haha. It's political speech. 'contribiting to society in a positive way'. Like when did being mediocre become positive in this world haha.

    Opinions with debate are how good ideas are formed, so it is a positive thing.
