Man Announces He Will Quit Drinking by 2050.
A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.
The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.
Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. “It’s not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades,” he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.

@bitbear I for one recall at least one car company saying they wouldn’t sell any ICE cars by 2030. Time on that one is running out!
@bitbear
I hope he reaches his goal.
@bitbear is like the car industry promises, brilliant old guy
@bitbear fedi is recycling for zuck now
@phaedral @bitbear
The creators website is linked, and they have an account here @theshovel so the place you saw it first may be the one recycling.
@bitbear This thing reminds me... what?
@bitbear
Great bit of satire. Our current process will bite us like a salt water crocodile does a swimmer.
@bitbear sounds about right.
@bitbear Welcome to facebook, circa 2020.
@bitbear When I give up on fedi it will be because of this.
@bitbear SOunds like Honda's promise to become carbon neutral by 2050. lol
@bitbear how about some #AlcoholOffset #AlcoholCredit or #AlcoholCapture?
@tsungi Brilliant idea! If I drink myself up to 1 ‰ and pay an Alcohol Offset for five other people to stay sober, our shared BAC is just 0.2 ‰, meaning I can drive safely in most countries.
@bitbear it sounds a fun idea to start a drinking game.. (I mean, to solve alchohol problme lol)
@bitbear
Bien en phase avec la COP28 !!
@bitbear That will never work. We need to invest further in Alcoholic production methods to support this transition phase
