I've been tracking my drinks for 2 years, first time I reach such a sober streak - and I feel really better!

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

That's pretty incredible. But now that someone's accomplished this feat, I wonder if anyone could do the opposite - blackout drunk every single day for 9 months straight. If you die from doing it, you lose. If you go any calendar day without completely blacking out from being drunk, you also lose. But if you win, it'll be life changing in ways none of us could even begin to comprehend. I'm not going to say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it is something. Anyone want to try it?
I've seen far too many people go that route. I am so glad I never developed a drinking problem.
College is such a dangerous time. So many of us drink excessively, and for most of us it's just a phase associated with that time in our lives. But that period also allows alcoholism to sneak in unnoticed for others. When getting drunk multiple times a week is normal behavior, nobody knows to he concerned about the severe drinking problem that's taking over someone's life until it's too late.
