Mint julep 1806

Bugger! Just as I decide to drink the menu at 1806 in the city I decide to join the Febfast challenge as part of my frugal February.

The idea is that give give up booze for a whole month and people - you perhaps - sponsor me  with the money going to a good cause which will also probably help save somebody else’s liver or sanity*.

“Participants are sponsored by friends and family, with funds distributed to organisations that support young people struggling with substance use.”

I’m not doing this because I’m an alcoholic. But I do drink too much too often and everybody needs a little bit of time off the grog. I will possibly be buying one $15 leave pass for a good friend’s party. But then again I may not (unless she sponsors me).

I’m aiming to raise a modest $200 and can be sponsored here.

*40% of the funds will be distributed to YSAS Pty. Ltd. (the Youth Substance Abuse Service). YSAS is the largest provider of alcohol and other drug services to young people in Victoria.
10% of the funds will be distributed to the Australian Drug Foundation for education purposes.
The remaining funds will be distributed by the FebFast Gift Fund Management Committee to the Australian Alcohol and Other Drugs sector, based on grant applications that are received from individual organisations within the sector.
