A COUPLE are doing their own version of dry January by only drinking leftover Christmas alcohol.
Keven and Kah Heng, not their real names, have agreed to drink less following a more than usually merry festive season, but also that they can hardly be teetotal with all this booze in the house.
Kevin said: “How can you be sober when there’s an inch of Bombay Sapphire winking at you? The responsible thing to do is get it drunk.
“We over-ordered on Bailey’s, there’s a full litre left, and we’ve got a bottle of champagne, the dregs of six bottles of spirits and four cans of Red Stripe his brother brought over and ignored.
“You can’t really call that drinking. Even if you add in the whisky tasting set he got and my flavoured vodkas, and the liqueurs, and I forgot that other bottle of Prosecco.
“Anyway we’ll clear all that tonight and wake up ready for our new sober lives tomorrow morning. Maybe we’ll go out for a 7am run.”
