I'll admit that I cheated just a little bit tonight, but I have a good reason. Our fridge suddenly stopped getting cold today (the freezer still works though, so I'm working on figuring that one out). Anyway, we had to move all of our food into the beer fridge in the garage. Well, there are several large bottles of beer that don't fit anywhere standing up and had to be lying down. They were simply taking up too much space to fit everything, so I had to drink one of the big bottles of beer to make room. Just one bottle, but it was a big one. I do have another reason to drink the big bottle. Tonight I learned why you're not supposed to use a screwdriver to defrost a freezer...

This is a tough one...
April is tougher than I thought it would be. Between the end of the NCAA basketball tournament, a movie at the Mission Theater (they serve beer), the Spring Brew festival (which I skipped), a visit from my parents, and an Easter party at a friend's house, there were lots of opportunities to have more than one beer. But, I'm still holding strong! Only 16 more days!

April Challenge - No More Than One Alcoholic Drink Per Day
Well, the March challenge of no soda turned out not to be too hard, except for the two days I spent in the Rose Garden watching basketball with no beer sales. Other than that, it was pretty easy, and with all the water I'm drinking, I don't miss soda at all.
Now, on to the most controversial month, April. The goal is to have no more than one alcoholic drink per day. Why? While there have been several studies that have shown some health benefits to drinking small amounts of alcohol per day, they all pretty much agree that having too much is more detrimental than beneficial. I had contemplated cutting it down to zero, but that would be no fun.
The responses to this month varied from "No problem, I don't drink anyway" to "No way!" to "You mean an average of one a day for a month?" So, I may be on my own for this month.
If you decide that this challenge is unnecessary or undesireable, I encourage you to pick something else on your own. I'd also like to see how other people are doing with their own challenges. Please take a little time and add your comments to this post.
Good luck!
