Have a booze-free February
This February Australians are urged to grab a friend, banish the booze altogether and help raise money for vital organisations.
National health and charity campaign FebFast urges all Australians to give up alcohol during February, the shortest month of the year.
“Every year we challenge Australians to go without alcohol in February, but in 2010 we double dare you!” FebFast CEO Fiona Healy said.
“Do it with your best friend, husband, wife, partner, sister, parent, workmates — anyone who will help you get up the guts to give up the grog for a month.”
In 2010, funds raised will go to the Australian Drug Foundation, Youth Substance Abuse Service (VIC), Mater Hospital Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal Service (QLD), Ted Noffs Foundation (NSW and the ACT) and FebFast’s grants program for smaller grassroots organisations.

OMG a “DRY” MARDI GRAS…….No Thank You…..NEXT !!
Gotta Dash, my flatmate has just made me a large G & T. lol
Over Mardigras ? I don’t think so …. how about in Winter when we are all at home rugged up in front of the TV and scared to go out in the cold … LMAO
I did this last January. I felt so good I kept going.. Had no idea there’d be such an improvement in the way I felt, physically and emotionally. Havent touched a drop since.. Feel fantastic!
I could be wrong but somehow I doubt this will be overly successful within the Sydney Gay community in the month which host Mardi Gras.
I’ll pass.
