At the start of last year, I made a commitment to donate as much as I drank. Now, in the interests of accountability and transparency, I'll show you how I matched every cent spent on alcohol this year with donations to charity.
I'm halfway through my commitment to match my charitable giving with my alcohol spending.
See how much I've paid for booze so far. And see which charities are going to be better off for it!
A personal atlas of alcohol.
Before you get the wrong impression, this post is not about booze-filled nights from my backpacking days. It's an anthology of anecdotes and memories, linked by a common theme: alcoholic beverages.
My discovery of different drinks parallels some important memories. These are what I'd like to share with you.
So let me take you from my childhood, all around the world and back home again. In this brief autobiography, I'll let the alcohol do the talking.
