    Hi each, count me in for August please. I'll aim for 22 VLADS (Very Low or Alc' Free Days! -V Low =  1 drink or less).

    hi Rob, that is completely brilliant that you would like to join, but the only thing is we don't really do low-alcohol days - we do days where you drink or days where you don't! Would you like to think about how many alcohol-free days you might like to do?

    Welcome Rob. That's a very aspirational target.  Hopefully you'll find it easier to not have that first drink as it can often lead to more. It also makes the planned drinking days even more enjoyable IMO. Good luck. :smile:

    Does an alcohol-free beer count? They're <0.5% ABV (tax break I think)  Erdinger is the one I like. Just so I know! o:)
