Go Dry for July

[afaceforradio]

Someone who works on my website and a good friend of mine has signed up for 'Go Dry for July', a sponsored 'not drinking for a month' charity event to raise money to support adult Cancer patients in Australia.

The number will go towards medicine, equipment and care at a number of Australian hospitals (There's more information in the link I give at the bottom).

If you're feeling generous, you can donate as little as $1AUD to the cause.

My girl is trying to stop drinking...so she got rid of anything with alcohol.

...Well, there goes my supplier...

So, yeah, I think we can stop drinking for a month.

Yeah, and now they can't even swear about not being allowed to drink!

Anyway, I like the idea.

I know their also banning swearing, I mean, most Australians I meet list their favourite past times as Drinking and Swearing.

This is a good cause though.

Edit;
damn it, I'll get you next time NINJA!

At least it's not in Ireland or Scotland
I thought this meant not drinking anything :| I could see a problem with that, lol.
I'd donate but I have about 50p in my bank account until next fortnight T_T

I thought she meant all fluids! Phew, just the booze.

Being 16, I can do this, shame I'm in England.

Calumon: If your dry, then have a bath. I don't want to see someone with crusty skin! >.<

 

[Magic Cheese]

Meh, I think I'd rather just donate to cancer research and then celebrate the occasion with my main man Jack. ^_^

My birthday's in July. Fuck that, seriously.

That was my first thought too, also what does not drinking for a month have to do with cancer?

It's just giving up something to raise money for a good cause.

Movember is way better. Growing a mo' for charity.

Might steal my Ma's HRT pills and put her name down this year.

Yeah my friends wedding is at the end of july it'd be downright strange not to imbibe a few shandys on the day.

It was more of a jokey comment, so facts don't really factor in crap comedy.

I actually did Movember two or three years ago, I can't remember damn it.

Reading the title it sounded like some kind of abstinence thing. Seriously though: not drinking in July? The summer holidays are the PRIME drinking days. Not sure I'd be able to resist a cold beer on a terrace in the sun in July even if it would literally cure cancer. You can only expect so much from me Australia!

 

[ottenni]

Why don't they start a thing where you donate $1 for every drink that you have. They would make allot more money that way.

When I read the topic title I thought it's sex related.

Except July is in the middle of winter.

OT: Bugger that, I'd rather get drunk. And I donate to other charities.

 

[Penguinness]

I'm confused. How would you gain money if someone doesn't drink? Do they have to go out and get sponsers like "I'm not drinking for a month, money plz."

1. Stop drinking for a month
2. Tell people
3. ????
4. Profit!

No drinking for a month? Pfft. No problem... I rarely drink anyway.
