    Mine was to buy more 6-packs and 4-packs and not get caught up in the big bottle hype. It's not going very well, haha.

    Wondering how others are doing.

    I was going to try not drinking on weekdays.. I believe I failed on Jan. 6. So, I'd say poorly.

    Well, so far so good, I've knocked several beers off of my want list, and I don't think I've purchased a bomber this year

    New Years resolution - 'Cut down on beer consumption, hoping to average less than 1 new per day. Today is roughly day 75. New 2016 beers = 111 to date. Although my resolution is not going well, I am happy.

    Mine was to log every beer I drank. It's been tough, but I've been keeping up. So far I've had 138 different beers from 76 different breweries, 16 states, and 6 foreign countries. I have a lot of other data going on, too, I will completely geek out on some lucky thread in December.

    My resolution was to put together a respectable cellar. By keeping hoppy stuff and some shelf stouts on hand, I've been doing pretty well keeping it going. I haven't opened anything from my cellar since Valentine's Day, before that the Super Bowl, and before that New Year's Eve. So, over a month without touching, but also adding to it regularly. So far so good.

    I've been aiming for "don't buy beer for the fridge if I haven't already had that beer before." So far the only new beers I've bought were part of a variety pack which also contained two beers I'd tried before. Considering I'm already three months into this year, I think I'm doing fairly well so far. XD

    To only drink if i have off work the next day. Its somewhat happening. And to not buy a thousand singles and just get a beer i know ill enjoy. Also to buy more AALs ive not had, because they are the most popular in my house besides blue moon and sam adams seasonals and i prefer to drink with friends and not alone if all i have are ipas (they refuse to drink them)

    Good...my beer intake has been cut considerably to the point of weekends only now. With with CrossFit 3 days per week, lifting 2 days, and eating healthier, not only do I look better but feel better too. I still enjoy beer...just not so much of it.

    My resolution to go to more breweries has not quite been as successful as I hoped, mainly due to laziness.

    I wanted to visit at least one brewery, which I accomplished back in February when I went to Stoudt's Mardi Gras festivities. :slight_smile: Tentative plans to hit up Yuengling and a couple other local breweries this spring/summer.

    I'm in the south central area, which makes things a little more complicated. Victory, Troegs, Yards, and a lot of the other recognizable PA breweries are all at least an hour away. Plus I work second shift so it's hard to organize trips period, especially with other people who work during the day time like normal people. Trying to budget out my PTO and plan better to make things happen.
