The Test

It’s so darn hot out there and alcohol is never far away. People enjoying al fresco dining with drinks or perhaps the talk of barbeques with cold beers. Also the television seems to be advertising alcohol a lot more recently. The advertisers aren’t stupid, with a major football tournament on the way and the Queen’s Jubilee they know how much the Brits like a drink to celebrate.

Walk into any supermarket and you are greeted with crates of reasonably priced beer or cheap bottles of wine. I have fallen under their spell a couple of times, thinking to myself ‘that’s a good deal’ before reminding myself of my challenge and strolling on to the soft drinks aisle. Your powers of gentle persuasion won’t work on me Mr. Supermarket.

I’ve been asked recently how I can prove that I haven’t broken my promise and had a drink. In answer to this I am open for random breathalysing tests to take place. Perhaps you can stop me by surprise on the street or jump out of the crowd in a busy bar. I look forward to proving your doubts wrong.
