Because drinking sucks the life out of you the minute it touches your lips.

Think of that crushing anxiety in the morning. That horrific realisation and sense of doom when you open your eyes and you think 'did I' and yes you will have done if you drink.

If you're anything like me you'll turn into someone you don't want to be.

Because all the suffering you've gone through the past two weeks will have to be done all over again.

You worked hard to get those two weeks, and in two more you will have a month. I know how hard it is, hang in there. I am wrapping up day 10.

Because you'll have to start over, again. You are through the toughest 2 weeks, no reason to go back into the lions den.

You can still end up in the hospital or jail when drinking for "one night"...

At some point, we all have to look at the long term because a lifetime full of the short terms is, well, short.

It's a waste of money.

The drinking experience is rarely as good as the anticipation of it.

It rots your teeth.

One drink could lead to ten. Ten could lead to jail.
