For one glorious month, I've decided to do something my mates considered medically impossible: voluntarily give up beer.
I'm taking on Dry July to raise money for a great cause and prove that I can, in fact, survive a social event while holding a sparkling water.
The only thing suffering more than my weekend plans is my local pub's revenue.
If you've ever witnessed me confidently say "I'll just have one," you'll know this is a genuine sacrifice. So if you can spare a few dollars, please donate. Every contribution goes towards supporting people affected by cancer, which is a far better reason to go dry than simply waking up without a hangover.
