No Beer for Lent

For those that don't know, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and lasts for 40 days until Easter.  For Catholics, it is a time when we give up something for 40 days.

Last year I gave up tea which was really tough, but I did it.  This year I've decided to try something very difficult.  I've given up beer which is unheard of in the Czech Republic - a place where beer costs less than water, cola or juice.  Let's hope that I make it.
