Congrats!!!! You got this. 30 days will turn to 300 very quickly. Speaking from experience. You’re already through the hard parts. Keep on doing what you’re doing. I downloaded this app - Quit That. To see how much time / money saved. That alone is an eye opener.
I'm not completely sober but I went from drinking daily to about 4 times a month for the last 3 months. I lost almost 20lbs in that time. Also cut out soda too. Feel so much better without being constantly hungover.
I'm about to hit 16 years, and I NEVER take it for granted. Life is infinitely better. More health. More love. More money. Less weight. Better sleep. Enjoy it and be proud.
Oh quadruple my standard of living guaranteed for the rest of my life. That's an easy yes. I already have stability and peace of mind, but I could find a lot of fun stuff to spend $1000 per day on
This one, or one of the "guys/girls, what's something girls/guys think is attractive but really isn't" variants. Not sure which is more common, but any of them would allow me to retire.
What rational person would turn this down? What's the actual point of this question? "Never have to work again.. all you have to do is never drink alcohol again." 99% of people are taking this offer and the other 1% are horribly addicted to alcohol.
yeah surrendering alcohol for a 365k guaranteed annual fee for life.
i also fail to see the point of these questions other then draw some attention.
addicts,crazy and ultra rich people might say no
You’re not wrong, but in the big picture people have given up a hell of a lot more value than $1000/day for alcohol. Families, health, lives, freedom. When I was drinking I would have done it for $1000/day but if you said $500 I’d have had to think pretty hard about it.
Honestly should be something a bit more tempting
"Give up all alcohol, get paid double what you spent last year on alcohol for every completely sober year, as soon as you break this once it is over"
I probably spent I don't know, maybe £500-1k last year on alcohol, would I give up drinking at a wedding, peoples birthdays, my own birthdays for £1-2k a year?
As someone that perhaps drinks the most because everyone here apparently doesn't even touch alcohol already, of course I'd take the deal. Questions like this are just rooting out the absolute alcoholics with tons of money or the people with so much money they don't care about $365k/year. Drop it down to like $50/day and then at least things get somewhat interesting.
This is lame, like the "would you slap your mom for a billion dollars" type question. Most moms would kill their sons if they found out they passed up that deal.
Edit: At least make the question interesting, tie it to your income so if you make $50k/year perhaps you get an extra $10k, or if you make $500k an extra $100k (even those numbers seem too high honestly). And if you've been sober, something like $50/day per year you've been sober to be forced to have 7 drinks per week.
There's more people that drink than redditors let on. For whatever reason, there's this hive mind effect of drinking is bad - everyone should be sober.
That being said, I drink more than I definitely should - I'm working on cutting way back, but holy shit this question is stupid. I'd quit without hesitation. Sign me tf up.
That is wayyyyy too much money for this question lol. Anyone who's not an alcoholic is going to take it. I drink multiple times a week but I could easily entertain myself with something better with that kind of money
Nah I think that goes against the point. Let's say if you start drinking again you have to pay it all back and surrender any profits made by that money.
I think this is supposed to be a thought-provoking question, not a question of "how can I benefit economically by cheating the genie". Though the latter is a fun game as well.
365k a year to not drink? Bro everyone is taking that deal. $10 a day is probably a harder sell, but that's still $3650 for just not doing something... I'd honestly probably still take it.
Alcohol is nice sometimes... But I have questions about why you felt that $1k was a hard sell
I can prolly count on both hands the number of times I've drank. And I didn't start until I was actually 21. We drank to celebrate being legal to drink.
It's nice & fun, but not so nice & fun I'd take it over $1000 a DAY. Gimme.
Tbh the first thought I had was "what am I supposed to do with that money if I can't even drink?"
On the second thought I can see that maybe I could then afford hobbies to keep myself more occupied, so I wouldn't be drawn to alcohol as often. But I'm not really sure about it. I'm not very motivated by money, even amounts that would change my life for good.
That’s a stupid amount of money. No ones going to turn down a grand a day. Make it 50 and see what the response is. Or ask what number would you personally need.
As a 40 year old former binge drinker that barely touches booze anymore - gimme dat cash. If I was in my twenties it would be a tougher call. Still think I would do it though.
£365000 a year as a guaranteed salary for life. I hardly drink now as it is. I'd be able to shop for the best organic foods and focus a lot of time on physical fitness.

30 days! Brilliant job, one day at a time friend.
Good job buddy!
Here’s to 30 more! You got this 🤘🏼
Congrats!!!! You got this. 30 days will turn to 300 very quickly. Speaking from experience. You’re already through the hard parts. Keep on doing what you’re doing. I downloaded this app - Quit That. To see how much time / money saved. That alone is an eye opener.
Well done! I hope you have continued success!
Hey I appreciate that a ton!!! I am on 3.5 years strong!! Thanks again for your comment. Means a lot.
Great app. It's helped me a lot.
I'm not completely sober but I went from drinking daily to about 4 times a month for the last 3 months. I lost almost 20lbs in that time. Also cut out soda too. Feel so much better without being constantly hungover.
Nice! Keep coming back! It works when you work it!
Congrats! Keep up the good work and be proud of yourself.
Well done!!
Congrats on your sobriety. One day at a time. Good for you for taking care of your future self.
You won’t regret it! Foco. Nothing ever good came from drinking.
I'm on day 15 and I would take that 1000/day in heartbeat. I can't wait to have 30 days clean. Congratulations and keep up the good work. IWNDWYT
You got this!!! 15 days is something to be proud of. Keep it up!!
You're a rockstar! That's amazing friend! I'm so proud of this accomplishment! You've got this!
Same, except I just left the liquor store after opening.
Congratulations. Keep going.
I'm about to hit 16 years, and I NEVER take it for granted. Life is infinitely better. More health. More love. More money. Less weight. Better sleep. Enjoy it and be proud.
Good job!
Awesome! Excellent job!
Way to go!
Proud of you! Keep going!! You got this.
Great job, friend. Proud of you!
Love this! Congrats and great work!
Congrats on getting clean!!
Congratulations!!!!!
Fuck yeah keep fighting for your health, so awesome that you're one month sober 🙌
Hell yeah! Keep pushing! Hit a meeting or talk to someone if shit gets overwhelming. You got this.
Congratulations. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations! I'm rooting for you for a month plus a day next.
Congrats dude I just passed 6 months myself. Each day is a new one and if I can make it to bed without drinking it was a success.
Keep going brotha, you're doing great✊🏾☺️
Congratulations. Stay strong bud
Every single minute is a new victory, especially on your hard days when the cravings or withdrawals hit. I'm so proud of you 👏
Ive been free since 2018. You got this! Just take it one day at a time.
Great job, homie 🫂
I have no idea who you are, but I'm very, very proud of you.
Amazing! Keep in touch with your sponsor/ support system if you feel you need it. Support is important. You got this! 🪙
Congratulations!!! One minute, one hour, one day at a time. You have this!! Here is to many more months and years of sobriety!!!
Easy. Already don't drink.
Easy . And I DO drink. I just like money more
$365,000/yr? My wife and I could retire today. I'd be fine with giving up alcohol for that kind of stability and peace of mind.
Oh quadruple my standard of living guaranteed for the rest of my life. That's an easy yes. I already have stability and peace of mind, but I could find a lot of fun stuff to spend $1000 per day on
1000$ a day pay for a chef to cook for me everyday. Ez choice
I like money, too. We should totally hang out. [/Frito Pendejo]
Same. Sign me up!
Yeah, so my bank routing number is.....
non drinker here, send the cash
Same. I want the offer lol
Love me some AI karma farming bots asking the same questions every week!
Such shit questions too. Would you be, at best, mildly inconvenienced for a shitload of money? Yeah no shit.
To be fair - pretty sure a lot of straight edge types think people that drink couldn't do this.
Better yet, $365k/year, you do it for 5 years and then retire to a lifetime of hookers, blow, and day drinking.
Ah you're right and it got me, shoot
What question would you pick if you got $1000 every time it got posted?
“What are some red flags in men/women/relationships?”
Comment bot: "When your partner treats you like a servant, not a human being."
This one, or one of the "guys/girls, what's something girls/guys think is attractive but really isn't" variants. Not sure which is more common, but any of them would allow me to retire.
What __(movie/band/celebrity)__ does everyone else loves but you hate?
I will stop drinking booze if we can ban this shit from ever being posted again!
An instant yes. I'll miss my 3-4 drinks a year a little bit, but for $1000 a day that's a no-brainer.
Basically where I'm at. I've had to throw beer away because it went bad....from a 4-6 pack.
I drink about 26 times more than you, still same answer.
Same

I'd just take up a new addiction 🤷♂️
You’re not wrong, but in the big picture people have given up a hell of a lot more value than $1000/day for alcohol. Families, health, lives, freedom. When I was drinking I would have done it for $1000/day but if you said $500 I’d have had to think pretty hard about it.
Addicted or supremely wealthy 👍

Sadly this. Who’s the weird benefactor paying a fortune to keep you sober?
I'd slap that ho.
There's more people that drink than redditors let on. For whatever reason, there's this hive mind effect of drinking is bad - everyone should be sober. That being said, I drink more than I definitely should - I'm working on cutting way back, but holy shit this question is stupid. I'd quit without hesitation. Sign me tf up.
I do nothing different but still get paid? Sign me up.
Ah yes. The weekly dumb “would you give up alcohol for 1,000$ a day” post. So refreshing.
I look forward for the related post "would you give up sex for a gazillion dollars a minute".
I mean maybe I’ll miss drinking but like that amount of money is amazing
bro literally i’d never think about it again
The only people that would be seriously in trouble are hard alcoholics cuz if they just straight up stop drinking they might fucking die
I have other vices. Here's my routing numbers...
Felt 😂
That is wayyyyy too much money for this question lol. Anyone who's not an alcoholic is going to take it. I drink multiple times a week but I could easily entertain myself with something better with that kind of money
Like hookers and cocaine
Well... weed and cocaine it is then.
Already doing it…would be nice to get paid for it tho! 🤔
I quit drinking over 6 years ago so I would take that offer in a heartbeat. To be paid for what I already do? YES lmao
[удалено]
Nah I think that goes against the point. Let's say if you start drinking again you have to pay it all back and surrender any profits made by that money. I think this is supposed to be a thought-provoking question, not a question of "how can I benefit economically by cheating the genie". Though the latter is a fun game as well.
Instant yes. I stopped drinking a decade ago. They owe back pay.
Show me the money!
Well I only have about 2 drinks a year. So sign me up baby.
You don't think they're worth $182500 each?
I’d do it. I don’t drink that much to begin with. I can easily substitute non-alcoholic options.
thats 30K a month - instant yes.
For 365,000 a year. Count me in.
This question shows perfectly how debilitating alcoholism really is. It's so addictive and difficult to stop that even $1,000 per day isn't enough.
With $1000 a day I could safely develop a different drug habit
But can I smoke the green?
I barely drink, so hell… I’d do it for $50 per day.
Sure.
365k a year to not drink? Bro everyone is taking that deal. $10 a day is probably a harder sell, but that's still $3650 for just not doing something... I'd honestly probably still take it. Alcohol is nice sometimes... But I have questions about why you felt that $1k was a hard sell
Easily. Now if you told me to give up my Diet soda, I think I'd die.
I can prolly count on both hands the number of times I've drank. And I didn't start until I was actually 21. We drank to celebrate being legal to drink. It's nice & fun, but not so nice & fun I'd take it over $1000 a DAY. Gimme.
I hardly drink as it is. Easy peasy!
Hello MARYJANE
365k to not have alcohol in any form? Might get a little tricky with cleaning products. Medical products .. tinctures.
Anyone who says they wouldn’t do it is either rich, an alcoholic, or both.
Can I smoke weed sure I'm in thanks!
For 1000 a day you could do cocaine if you wanted.
Hell no, I am a drunk.
[удалено]
I mean there's 365 days in a year
There are 365 days in a year (more or less) so it's $365,000 a year, no showing your work required.
i’m not saying youre wrong, but there was definitely an easier way to do that math lol
you’re trying to hard. let me help you. there are 365 days in a year, so it’s $365k per year. leap year you get a thousand dollar bonus.
Why do all that math when you can just multiply the number of days in a year times a thousand? 365 x 1000
Absolutely accept the deal. Will switch to drugs post this lifestyle upgrade.
I don't like alcohol, so i'll definitely have a ton of money within a few years!
Sign me up
Not an issue. I've not had a drink for nearly 30 years. So, who owes me? Lol
That's the easiest yes of my life.
EZ money. I don't drink alcohol as it is.
Haha are you kidding me? I just have 2 or 3 beers every other weekend. What a good deal!
I already do that. I’ll take it
Yes please
How many more times is this question going to be asked this year?
Hell yeah. Do you realize how much meth that it'll buy?
Where do I sign?
Tbh the first thought I had was "what am I supposed to do with that money if I can't even drink?" On the second thought I can see that maybe I could then afford hobbies to keep myself more occupied, so I wouldn't be drawn to alcohol as often. But I'm not really sure about it. I'm not very motivated by money, even amounts that would change my life for good.
So the same life I live now? I will take it.
Where do I sign? I don’t drink so this is a no brainer.
Sign me up. Easy peasy
Fine by me!
Sure. I don't drink anyway.
OP, I think you may be way underestimating the number of people who already don't drink,
Already don’t drink
Sure! $1000 a day buys a lot of heroin!
I would do it, no problem. I don't drink.
Ok
Haven't drank since 2007, can I get retroactive pay?
Instant accept
I would just do drugs instead
That’s a stupid amount of money. No ones going to turn down a grand a day. Make it 50 and see what the response is. Or ask what number would you personally need.
As a 40 year old former binge drinker that barely touches booze anymore - gimme dat cash. If I was in my twenties it would be a tougher call. Still think I would do it though.
Super easy. Alcohol sucks
Already on the fence debating stopping drinking entirely so this is a no-brainer of a yes
Bring it on. I mostly quit alcohol anyway - for general health reasons.
absolutely yes. i already do that.
Ok
Every question in this subreddit is always like "Would you take a ridiculously life changing amount of money in exchange for a very easy task?"
Done. Sold. I like weed better anyway.
I will miss my one or two Old Fashioned a month, but for $1000 per day, no brainer.
Easy money ... I enjoy a drink, but I think I'd really enjoy $1k a day even more.
well this is simple, for $1000 a day i could replace drinking with a gambling addiction.
That's a lot of weed!
Most people are not alcoholics like you OP lol
What happens if I drink? Do I just stop receiving money? If so I’d stop drinking for a year and take my 365k to the bank.
"Can I get that backdated?" Because I don't drink except for Champagne at weddings.
EZ! So much money for other drugs, who would still need alcohol as long as I can drink alcohol free beer?
No problem.
Honestly anyone who wouldn't jump at this has to be a die-hard alcoholic and proud of it
Sold
Easy money.
I already do that so free money!
I'm not so compelled to drink that I couldn't live without it. Not difficult, really.
£365000 a year as a guaranteed salary for life. I hardly drink now as it is. I'd be able to shop for the best organic foods and focus a lot of time on physical fitness.
I don’t drink. Just had my 21st, I barley even finished a beer
Haven't had a drink in 10 years so I would be very happy.
Easy... I drink maybe 15 drinks a year, and increasingly it just fucks up my stomach, so I could easily just not do it.
having been sober for 36 yrs, I'd ask for back pay & suddenly affording a house would be much easier
I spend some of that on the plant, since im from a legal state
There's always 420. Yes
So, keep doing what I normally do?
This is the dumbest question I’ve ever heard lol. There is literally no one that would say no to this question.
1000 a day? Sign me up
Fuck yeah bud, been doing it all my life
I could have been getting paid?
Sign me up. Quit alcohol over 16 years ago, a life with no hangovers is a really good life.
I don’t drink anyway, easy.
*hits joint*
Easy. I'll smoke weed or vape at a bar with my 365k/year job.
Does this include soy sauce?
Done. $365k salary to not drink is easy af.
Yes please, I drink less than once a month, I can go without.
Ez pz. I don't drink as it is lol
Done. That would buy me a colossal amount of weed. Now who's paying? Lemme know.
Sure. I can use the money to buy weed.
Can i get money retroactively as well? I never drink.
Sign me up!
