My Hangover Has Hung On

So, remember those Dreaming of Key West Margaritas I went for last night? I sure do. At only $5, I had to have more than one. And somehow a shot slipped in there too. Woke up this morning still processing alcohol. Now it is early evening, and my hangover has hung on (now there is a country song in the making, or probably already made). I have been thinking all day about becoming virtuous so as not to suffer this scenario again. I am , of course, not talkng about giving up drinking.

I think a 30 Day Challenge is in order. It is said that if you can do anything for thirty days straight, it will have become a habit. I have tried this before with exercise habits and it works well . . . if you make it the thirty days. My 30 Day Challenge will be to to have only 1 drink per day. Wait, let's see, do the next thirty days include any vacation time . . . no it does not, whew.

On the positive side, I will probably lose a little fat also if I do this. Such a big commitment though. What if I am some place that makes absolutely great Pisco Sours, or caipirinhas, drinks that are not good (or available) just anywhere.

Hmmm, I am wondering, if I skip a day, would I be able to bank that for another day . . . and should I have a rule such that if I wait, say 4 hours between drinks, the second drink would not count? . . . What if I go out for brunch? And then dinner? One drink with each meal seems reasonable., right?

Maybe I am being a bt hasty with the blackandwhiteness of this challenge. I'm gonna have to sleep on it. But I am starting today, if I follow through with it.
