I gave up drinking [alcohol] for Lent

I stated so on a facebook status, but I didn’t specify the rules:

- No drinking just because I can’t fall asleep.
- No drinking because I’m feeling sad, stressed or unhappy.
- The only exception is a special occasion, such as a birthday¹.

What did you give up for lent? If you have never given up anything for lent, would you consider giving up something for a month? I’ve known people to give up alcohol for January², to give their livers a break. You should try it some time!

Footnotes:

1. and even then, there is a 2 drink maximum
2. after the holidays
