It's almost that time of year again. I'll be giving up booze as per usual. Anyone else sacrificing during Lent this year? Ash Wednesday is February 10, 2016.

Having pancakes on "Greasy Tuesday"? (That's a direct translation of Mardi Gras, before I get that red thumb.)

Some years ago, about when I was born, I gave up Lent for Lent.


I be offering my liver.


Useless. Try again. lol.

It's "Fat Tuesday" but lets not split hairs and rule out the grease. If you know what I mean?

Out of (idle) curiosity, how much do you drink to celebrate that you quit for the stated duration? My sacrifice is a somewhat longer duration, no plans on changing it any more than it already has been.

Between 3 and 5 "drinks"/day. Depends on what the definition of drink is.
