I know I said I wasn’t going to start this process till the beginning of August. But I came across a great article in GQ magazine about non-drinking binges. It consists of a 10 day period of no drinking what so ever. It is not a detox or any of that fancy stuff it is simply not to have anything for the ten days. At the end of the 10 days it examines your hours of social life, money spent, work productivity, books read and movies watched. I am at the tail end of the non drinking binge and I have seen some serious changes good and bad.
In 10 days of a normal life. 10 days of non-drinking binge
$85 on food $45 on food ( ate mostly at home)
$200 on drinks $17.50 on non alcoholic drinks
Social Hours 45hrs Social Hours 30hrs (no bar)
So there it is some obvious things we all knew would happen. The thing is though a single guy needs certain atmospheres to create social belonging. Just like the GQ article said anymore than ten days and you may not get anymore phone calls from drinking buddies or booty calls. I tell you though I feel great, I wake up early, I’m sharp but I get bored sometimes. I just recommend doing one of these every couple months its a nice wake up call.
Try it out and let me know how it goes!
