So I decide to do Febfast. I've pretty much sworn off sugar, so that' no challenge, there's no way in hell I'm giving up caffeine, so my only real option was to swear off alcohol for a month.

So I've made it to the 21st, I'm feeling good, and then this happens. Craft Beer Rising. 4 craft brewers that I normally wouldn't get access to are setting up in my town, doing growler fills this weekend, with free samples.

You...bastards...you...fucking....BASTARDS!

Take Febfast, throw it straight out the window and go to that thing!

What is this Febfast? Is it like Lent for non-catholics?

Fund raiser type thing, kicking alcohol/sugar/caffeine/digital stuff. Detoxing your mind/body/soul blah blah blah, wank wank wank.

So like Lent, but for fundraising. Is there also a walk-a-thon? Because harassing your coworkers to donate for every 100 feet you cover is super fun.

As one of Oppo's local drunks beer aficionados, I urge you to cheat on your fast and attend this event.

No. Really. =)

Fill all the growlers, sample nothing. Then restrain yourself, physically.

That's what I'd need to do at least.

Not for this, but there's one for the Multiple Sclerosis Society in June. There's also a 50 mile bike ride in November.

No, we just swill it around our mouths then spit it out when no one is watching. We've manged to keep that act up for years. We're a very sober society.

Fascinating, I always wondered how you could drink Fosters.

We don't. We just look like we do, then export it to you guys.
