Breaking Dry July
The final day of Dry July is upon us, the waiting is almost over.
Dry July has been long… and a little arduous, but for a great cause.
The fallout of my commitment to this cause is that I am approx 1kg lighter, 1cm slimmer, $100ish richer, no longer the Foursquare Mayor of Galbraith’s and adults living with cancer are $300.00 better off.
Admittedly the effect on my waistline could’ve been larger had I not substituted beer with lollies during the first two weeks. Sugar filled beverages probably weren’t the best alternative either if losing weight was a goal I was aiming for.
Anyway, Dry July is pretty much all wrapped up and I’m looking forward to the break party. Here’s a snap shot of my beer fridge.
In case you were wondering; no, I don’t plan on drinking all of these tomorrow. But I do have my eye on that Epic Hop Zombie.
All you other Dry Julyers; what are you planning for your breaking drink tomorrow?

Well done champ! I totally failed Dry July this year 🙁 I promise to try harder in 2014, we’ll try to organise some cool stuff for teetotalers throughout the month 🙂
Went around to Chris’ at midnight to help him break the spell, starting at about 3 seconds past midnight, he smashed down a Croucher Pils, a Mikes OMPA and followed up with… yep… a HOP ZOMBIE. Bet he’s feeling it this morning 😛

haha, Good call @Michael.
Yeah it’s pretty tough @Dan. I think next year I’ll opt for the give generously option instead. BTW thanks for your donation, it’s pretty cool hearing where the money goes on BeerIQ’s blog – http://beeriq.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/dry-july/
