Actually me and some people are waging bets on our Lent deprivations. I myself will actualy swear off alcohol. That may or may not include going out to bars and such; I am hesitant to waste their time by ordering juice and cola, so unless friends drag me out to play pool or something, I'm gonna be a big homebody. On the plus side I won't have any alcohol in my system and I'll save tons of money.

I didn't even start drinking until I was 24-25, so 40 days of sobriety won't hurt me.

This is all starting Friday at 12:01AM. Gives me time to go out tonight, and finish the last beer in the fridge.

This is what I'm doing, as well, except I started Ash Wednesday. That was a clever clause you created!

Clever or not, here it goes:

I went out for some final drinks with a friend, and I didn't make it back in time to drink that last beer in the fridge. So there it sits, until I pour it out or somebody comes over.

Go for, it man. It was tough not having a beer or two at a pub trivia night tonight. Even worse, next Tuesday there's a trivia night at, get this, a beer bar/lounge :(

Also, if you really want to play it Catholic, no meat on Fridays. Vegans, figure out your own translation of this, or not.

I'm United Methodist, so we don't have that, but when I went to a Catholic high school, Lent was great for the school lunches. We always had catfish or red beans and rice or seafood gumbo, which was way better than the usual fare!
