Dear listeners, dear listeners, to all my alcoholic friends, welcome to 2022 and especially to this month of January, the famous Dry january. We are on the 8th, it is not too late to try the adventure of the month without alcohol, so we will ask ourselves the question that we do not have the answer:
Should we purge in January?
Are you trying the dry january this year yourself? Dry January, literally “Dry January”, it is the challenge which comes to us from England, and which passes for a tendency whereas it is at the base, a campaign of public health. I see the conspirators from here “Ouiiiiii, they want us to drink less alcohol, they believe that we will obey them on the pretext that alcohol is bad for health, whereas it is not true, me my mother she drank when I was in her belly and I’m perfectly normal! What I have a flat head, anything. ”
“- Did you stop drinking in January, you Poulette?
– Well no, you can see that my nose is red and the back of my eyes is a little yellow. “
All kidding aside, I did better guys, I quit drinking for 9 months. And no I was not pregnant … (Well yes, of course, I did not drink anything during my pregnancies) but here I am talking about a decision that I made following … a Christmas Eve a little too watered , Arnaud Delphine de Saint Xandre, hello. Anyway, the next day I said like everyone else “I drinkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Imagine that stopping drinking is very difficult and not for the reasons you think.
Because the body claims? Not at all, I’m actually talking to you about a social difficulty.
“Not drinking is excluding.”
When a woman does not drink alcohol, in the collective mind, it is necessarily because she is pregnant. If she is not pregnant, she has to be driving so that her husband can drink. If a man stops drinking it is inevitably that he has a health problem, or a psychological one, or else he is a former alcoholic… Basically if you don’t drink you’re not normal, you’re not funny, and it cannot be the choice of reason. So would it be super trendy to drink alcohol? And yes, you will find that drinking alcohol is the height of coolness. Whatever your age, it starts at the guignette, it continues in France 1, it ends in V&B! “Oh the load I took on this weekend” Do you want a medal? “We started counting on the 27th jet I shit gingham pastilles” You want a medal. Drunk, rinsed, smashed, stiff, rapta, blue, soaked, all these pretty words sound like good points that we distribute to the 1st of the biture class, but what is there behind this admiration without terminal that we dedicate to tipsy? A convoluted question if I may allow myself the pun (still, convoluted … you understand). The answer regarding tipsy is a bit far-fetched (pun intended second), and I’m going to do some counter psychology (since we’re in the theme), but I think tout is about letting go that alcohol allows. We admire people who “let go”.
And it’s true that when you spend your evening drinking bricks of apple juice and Capri Sun while your friends are enjoying themselves with a good whiskey, it’s not easy to throw yourself face down in the paquito, that requires letting go, and it is less easy on an empty stomach.
So if you want to stop drinking completely without being called a killjoy, you have to do it in January? You understood everything ! If you stop drinking in January, we’ll leave you alone, the rest of the year, you’ll have to be brave, but the feat will only be more admirable.
Conclusion, should you purge yourself in the month of January, you are free to decide
