Drinkers across Sydney -- and Australia ? are preparing to abstain from alcohol for the entire month of July to raise money for cancer patients.
For the fourth year running, Dry July is encouraging people to raise money online by pledging to steer clear of the hard stuff for a month. All the money raised goes to benefit people living with cancer in Australia -- but the organizers aren?t preaching anything other than the cause.
?We?ve always made sure that Dry July isn?t about anti-alcohol, so it?s not about the dangers of binge drinking -- it?s just about the challenge of taking a month off drinking,? says co-founder Phil Grove. ?We don?t need to tell people that they might be drinking too much, but we offer a reason for taking a month off.
