Dry January has damaged the NI pub industry, but it’s Stormont sloths and lifestyle changes that will finally kill it

It won’t be long before ‘going out for a drink’ is remembered as a quaint tradition that ultimately died out.

How’s Dry January working out for you? Oh, okay… you thought about it, but ultimately couldn’t be arsed. Still, it’s the thought that counts, eh?

I don’t bother with it myself. No need; my habitual drinking days ended years ago and most months, let alone January, are already dry.
