Today is Day 162 of my Year of Living Sober.
Back around Day 60 (wow, 100+ days ago!) I posted a list called the ‘Top 5 Teetotaller Responses When Offered A Drink’. Since I hadn’t heard of Pinterest back then, I didn’t think to make my list into a handy graphic which could be viewed and shared with a single click. But now I have heard of Pinterest (and have set up my account HERE) I thought it might be fun to do a slightly revised version of that post and put it into a pinterable pic.
Besides, I’d omitted an important word from the original list: ‘temporary’. This is a list for anyone who’s simply taking a bit of a break from booze, not necessarily giving up alcohol forever. Also, I felt I could improve upon that first list. A little edit here, a little edit there and voila! I think this little ‘Top 5′ is even better than before. Clearer, funnier—more to the point.
So here it is. The Year of Living Sober’s new improved Top 5 Teetotaller Responses When Offered A Drink hereafter known as the Top 5 Temporary Teetotaller Responses. Enjoy. Share. And leave a comment if you’ve got another one.

Little Booze Joke
F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11 and F12 walk into a bar and the barman says, “Sorry, we don’t cater for functions.”


I think this is my favourite Little Booze Joke yet.
If I can make even ONE person laugh—hard enough to experience LBL (Light Bladder Leakage)—then it’s been a good day
