I got thinking today on my proposed New Years Resolution, I come up with one around this time every year, but only stick to it for one or maybe two weeks max! Both my parents have stuck to theirs of no smoking, so as I don’t smoke, I have come up with the resolution of not drinking! Drastic as it may sound, I believe it should be an easy task:

1. I don’t drink heavily in the first place, I may have one or two on the weekend, or on an evening off.
2. If I find other things to spend money on, it will mean I won’t have the money to spend on alcohol.
3. I’d rather be the designated driver at the end of the night! I like waking up the next morning and remembering the night before.
4. I like my health!
5. Drink is so expensive now, that I’d be better off nursing a coke for the night and leaving with my wallet still intact!
6. I may not be as sociable, but a lot of my friends don’t drink either.

Some good points I think, and valid enough for me to persue the resolution fully. I won’t give up alcohole completely - instead I will only have celebratory drinks etc… I think everyone is entitled to a treat every now and again .
