I was one of those people who used to envy people who could do Dry January because I could never do it. I was absolutely mystified how people could stop drinking for a MONTH. My streak was a week. Usually three days, which I did most weeks. I was not a daily drinker and not a day time drinker. My drinking followed a familiar pattern for decades: Wine on a Friday or Saturday, maybe a Sunday afternoon, cooking a roast (that was civilised) then nothing usually till Wednesday - a couple on Wednesday, which would mean a couple on Thursday and then back to the bottle of wine on Friday or Saturday with a hangover the next day. Pretty standard Brit drinking for my generation I thought.
