A friend of mine and her boyfriend had given up alcohol for Lent, except for the weekends, when they get shitfaced. I really don't get religeon...

@stack That’s hysterical. It’s a problem that that’s giving something up for them.
More so for the boyfriend... I can't imagine drinking every day, but I know a ton of people who start with a lunch martini and kill a bottle of wine later on, perhaps with a few scotches in-between... My next door neigbor's glass recycling makes as much noise as a busy restaurant on bin days.

With respect and good wishes for those friends, that... doesn't seem like the best example of fasting, religion or otherwise. I guess when people do it right, it's hard to tell that they're fasting at all.
Fasting? — Many Christian traditions include fasts during the season of Lent. Does yours? If so, how's it going? Keep it up, you can do it.
