ELAPSED 16 / 350 REMAINING
Last night I visited my local Tesco Express and bought amongst other things a pack of Becks Blue alcohol-free beer. The lad serving, replete with body art and piercings, checked that I knew I had picked up alcohol-free beer, and I very loudly announced - in the hope that other shoppers could hear me - that "Yes, and I did so because I'm teetotal!"; daftly believing I had gained some moral high-ground over the uber-tattooed, uber-pierced youngster, he responded with "Oh well done, I've been teetotal for about 18 months now - I just don't like the taste of alcohol."
A little deflated that my fortnight vs his 18 months was never going to stand up in a straight fight, I did however feel quite proud that I could label myself a teetotaller without experiencing any kind of embarrassment. Come on, it's for charity ...
The Becks Blue is still sh*t, though, but hey it tastes of what I'm sorely missing ... sort of.
