Usually if you are going to get sponsored for something you have to actually, you know, do something. It makes as much sense as sponsoring someone not to eat bread or lay off chocolate. Nothing personal, but this whole thing just seems stupid even if it is for a good cause. Going a month without alcohol is hardly a big sacrifice... unless you're an alcoholic, I suppose.
Although I suppose this could be quite a clever way of making people who are alcohol dependent realise they have a problem. I know a lot of people who drink much to much and would never consider themselves to be dependent; so something like this could make reality dawn on them maybe.
Completely agree with this and that's why I won't sponsor anything like this. Beer / Alcohol can be seen as a luxury. Just don't drink, simple. It will do you health and liver some good.
It's ok you two. You can sponsor somebody for Movember instead.
It's charity, guys. It doesn't have to be climbing mountains or whatever.
My friend did a thing a while ago where she'd let you draw something on her face in felt tip for a quid ("nothing too rude", alas) and she'd go about her day with "DUNCE" on her forehead (or whatever). I think she raised about £100 for some charity. It was silly, and not exactly a lot of effort, but at the end of the day some deserving cause was a hundred quid better off for it.
