It's a fun challenge but it's also very good for your health. - After the excesses of Christmas and (of the) New Year's, it must be a good detox cure! - Yes, and if you do this challenge with (some) friends, it's easier and more motivating. Do you want to participate with me? - Yes, why not! Goodbye (the) alcohol!
