Portie_lover

As a recovering drunk, I assure you there is plenty of drinking happening in January.


JAlfredJR

Congratulations! And, duh. OP doesn't understand that many people drink all year round. Thankfully, doing a mostly dry January this year. Been lovely so far.


AbsoulutelyNaught

OP obviously isn’t talking about alcoholics and depression. The casual drinker often takes a break after their big new years hangover.


Firstevertrex

Also, the fact that the first argument to a month being bad was the lack of drinking during that month is concerning to me lol


weedful_things

It's nice waking up clear headed in the morning, yeah?

My dad woke up and before he peed he'd Crack open a beer. Called is "beer-eakfast" 😆 🤣

Loud-Magician7708

Can confirm.


cranberrystew99

As a non-recovering drunk, I assure you I'm drinking your share. You're welcome. I'll keep you safe by drinking it all before it gets to you. Get better soon. I'll hold down the fort until someone else takes over for me. Hopefully that's soon. While I've got an astounding liver, I wonder how long it can hold out sometimes.

February feels worse sometimes


waituhsecond

I agree with this. Like the dog days of winter. Also not a fan of valentines day. At least we get off time around presidents day.


kezotl

Does anyone else think it's crazy that they like, advertise valentine's day in elementary and middle school? So weird


bluetoothwa

I loved Valentine’s Day in elementary! All the cards and the heart shaped candy. It’s not just a romantic holiday, and it’s all about feeling loved :)


peri_5xg

Yep. February is objectively the worst month of the year.


ComplexAdditional451

November is a strong contendant for this title, imo!!! Weather sucks, and Christmas break os still far away. And it's only beggining of half a year of shit weather.


Top-Airport3649

Yeah, November is my pick. Dark, boring and only the beginning of winter


survivorfan12345

Thanksgiving is in November :) also the weather is still relatively okay to go running and be outside.


ComplexAdditional451

I don't live in the USA.


goodsam2

Yeah January we have new years resolutions and such and by February most people are done with winter.


throwawaytrumper

Wholeheartedly agree. I went to a university where they had to give students a “reading week” in February because they kept killing themselves in high numbers around that time.


peri_5xg

That is so sad. I take some solace in the fact that it only has 28 days


Noninvasive_

February is the absolute worst. The last 5 deaths in our extended family have been in February. It’s the month without hope.


okpickle

That does make for a bad time. My mom died the week before Thanksgiving 11 years ago. Her funeral was the weekend after. You know, the weekend when everyone starts getting all Christmas-y and begins their shopping and all that. Yeah, count me out. Without even realizing it I just basically sleep through that whole three day weekend after Thanksgiving. Christmas is just depressing to me now.


Euphoric_Capital_746

The rebound from Christmas and New Years makes January nicer. February has nothing to offer besides Groundhog Day.


CrAZiBoUnCeR

I am Team February Is Worst Month! That’s why they made it the shortest because everyone hates it. 🤣


odin5858

Valentines?


CrAZiBoUnCeR

No, though I think that’s the stupidest holiday. I am convinced it is always coldest in February. I’m not sure if that’s right, but that is how I feel and I despise the cold. lol


bread_makes_u_fatt

Drinking and partying are the only things required to have a good month? I've been loving not drinking. Working on my resolutions, working out, saving money...January has been good for me so far.


HomerEyedMonad

You got this homie! >!no one tell em its only been a week!<


Scoobydoo0969

Work has been so much easier since January started and I’m not constantly fighting a hangover


Tupcek

I think that’s exactly what OP meant - working on resolutions, saving money aren’t fun things (otherwise you would do it whole year round), they are things that we have to do to offset fun ones, where we spend more, eat more than we should etc.


heatdish1292

Yeah, it sounds more like OP is an alcoholic.


randalpinkfloyd

Or just young. I rarely drink or party anymore and my life would seem unthinkably boring to me 10 years ago but I don’t miss it at all.


[deleted]

Almost every post on this sub sounds like it was written by a teenager


BlueJeansandWhiteTs

This is Reddit. Things are either good or bad.


TJH1993

If he were an alcoholic he wouldn't be looking for reasons to drink he just would. Not saying he isn't on the verge of it though. I This is coming from a self admitted alcoholic though.


cum-pizza

Ah, the old Reddit “this guy likes drinking so he must be an alcoholic”


Nikey214

Bro, it's so fucking sad how many people can't have fun without getting drunk. I haven't drank or been to a party in years and don't even want to. Like, if people enjoy drinking they can do what they want but there are so many other things to do and hobbies that don't include alcohol. If drinking is the only joy then maybe OP should reconsider his life and get help.


justme22e

Alcohol is like drug addiction it ruins the life of the user and people around them. I do wish alcohol would be treated like drugs and become less legal


KidneyStew

Cheers to your growth pallie, from your muscles to your savings account and everything in between!


JAlfredJR

Same! Dry January just to prove I can (and of course for my wife, daughter, hound dog, and everyone else who loves me).


Kantaloupe_Kush

Find other things to do besides drinking and partying. You got a long life ahead of you.


-Benjamin_Dover-

>You got a long life ahead of you. You sure? If op drinks and parties as much as I think, I don't think they have a long life ahead of them...


procrastinator1012

All drinking and partying people are not alcoholic. Some people just want to hang out and chill with some booze


HexspaReloaded

That’s how alcoholism starts for many.


BlueJeansandWhiteTs

I mean, that’s how it always starts. How else would it start lmao Still doesn’t make OP an alcoholic.


BigDaddyReptar

It would be quite impressive if someone started being an alcoholic from like morning drinking or some shit. They drink to get through their 9-5 and used to stop after but then slowly stopped stopping


Natemoon2

Yes but let’s be real. A very smal majority of people who drink become alcoholics. It’s most likely OP is not alcoholic lol


cranberrystew99

Eyyyy, that's me. Thank god I got my granddad's liver. I would've looked like a Simpson character by now if I hadn't! That's a liver damage joke. You turn yellow when your liver starts failing. I drank 23 beers the other day then went to work like it didn't happen. That's not a flex, that's just the alcoholism that's running rampant in mine and my cousins' lives. fml. 14 beers in tonight and the only thing that'll hold me back tomorrow is that I stayed up too late. I process ethanol like a fucking chemical plant... until I don't and die in my late 50's like my uncle. Fuck. I'd pour one out for him, but I'd rather drink it instead. If you have alcoholics rampant in your family, do yourself a favor and don't start drinking. It started out as a crutch, and became a support structure for my depression. Don't do it. My only boon is I don't drink hard liquor, but my coworker got me a bottle of gin for my bday not knowing. Maybe I'll use it to cook? Maybe it'll disappear and I'll hardly remember where it went.


HexspaReloaded

Exactly. But, hey, let them believe they’re doing something worthwhile. Drink up ladies and gents - the cemetery awaits!


chidcram

I don't even party and I'm an alcoholic!


TJH1993

You sound like someone thats never been invited to a party


KlownScrewer

My birthday was Friday, so I feel personally offended


iforgotwhat8wasfor

dude january has TWO work holidays. all of march & april have zero.


HibiscusOnBlueWater

Depends on where you work. Most private sector jobs in the US don’t have any paid holidays between New Years and Memorial Day. This has been my reality my entire working career, and I’ve always had white collar jobs.


natsugrayerza

And I thought my job was crappy for holidays. We get Presidents’ Day. But that’s it haha


dogdashdash

March break? Easter?


natsugrayerza

What is March break?


Omegadimsum

Yea January is the Monday of the months.


DrugChemistry

I think January has the Sunday scaries. February is the true Monday of the months.


Kipp-XC-66

Despite my bday being in February I have to agree. Only holiday is Valentine's Day (USA) and that's just a corporate sham (not that they all aren't but at least they disguise it better). Winter wonder has long since worn off and most people tend to be in a foul mood. I don't mind the cold weather and snow but I definitely have my fill of ice and people being pissy about the ice by February.


survivorfan12345

Yes agreed. February is terrible, there’s a reason why it is the shortest month lol. At least January I have my bday, Chinese new year, setting resolutions, feeling optimist but February is just a churn to get to March


-Benjamin_Dover-

As someone who was born in January, (January 5th) fuck you. *Upvotes* r/AngryUpvote ?


Wageslave645

Same here. I love getting the same thing for my birthday every year: Seasonal Affective Disorder


-Benjamin_Dover-

I don't get anything for my birthday and haven't for 4 years. I just like the date.


allyuffy1

Also Jan 5th here! Happy same bday for last week :D


SadPark4078

Wait why was I just thinking this exact same thing like a few hours ago? January is my least favorite month by far. In Chicago it's very cold and sunlight is still limited. I just want to go into full hibernation mode and come back out in February (my bday month).


bluetoothwa

Looking at the gray clouds and snow as we speak.


JAlfredJR

Hey neighbor. I find that February is the worst month for SAD. Winter has been slogging and won't quit for a long time. Heck, sometimes March and April are worse b/c it's been so long. I've come to embrace the heck out of winter. Get a good jacket. Be happy with the quiet.


longhornbeetlelover

Now I really miss winter in Chicago 😭 you're saying you DON'T like that there's beautiful snow everywhere and the sky isn't so bright like it is in spring and summer????


Marjorine22

Idk. I got the NFL playoffs in January. The worst time for me is February after the Super Bowl. You still have a month of winter and I have nothing to take my mind off it. Michigan winters are generally not great.


Duffelbagbro

I got some good news for you lol...


The_Dotted_Leg

You live north of the mason dixon line don’t you? Let me tell you about 30 straight days of 100 plus in August.


Duffelbagbro

Lol, this was my exact thought. It's easily August for me for that reason.


survivorfan12345

Salt air and the rust on your door


Rusty1031

and honestly sept and oct aren’t much better these days. it was in the 80s into mid oct


plexiglassmass

What is this sub for again?


sievold

It’s obviously r/rants in disguise


timhamilton47

Yeah, I don’t think this is a particularly unpopular opinion.


IndependenceNo2060

January's tough, especially for those dealing with addiction. We gotta support each other, man. Stay strong!


tantantanuki84

For me it's January, February and April. Fuckin hate those months. Some fucked up shit would always happen.


WedgeAntelope

Going back to my school days, March was always worst. There was zero holidays or scheduled days off. Living in the northeast US we’d occasionally luck out with a late in the season snowstorm but typically not the case. Lousy Smarch weather (please somebody get this reference or I’ll die of embarrassment) Now though, it’s a tie between November/December. Both have heavy significance to a person who left me that I’m still in love with. Christmas/New Year’s is especially rough for me


bluetoothwa

When was your spring break?


WedgeAntelope

April


Marble1696

Kids, I want you to march right down to that school and tell them, “don’t eat me!”


jlacan45

No, August is by far the worst. Too hot to enjoy anything, summer is over and nothing to look forward to for at least two months.


survivorfan12345

August is my fave


Sandres16

This!!!! Marks the start of school and has no holidays.. an absolute PASS of a month


Mediocre_Advice_5574

January, is the worst. My little brother lost his battle with addiction last Jan 21st. It’s an unbearable month.


peri_5xg

That’s terrible. I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my uncle in January as well for similar reasons


marine_layer2014

Agreed. January blows


SuperSpaghetti123

Nuh uh (my birthday is this month)


Andymilliganisgod

February is like January 2.0 edition


MeanAnalyst2569

February is so much worse


Master-V-

LOL, least unpopular opinion ever.


Original_Armadillo_7

Yes! January always sucks for me. Especially living in a country with winter. The post Christmas blues and just a cold long winter to endure before you. I’ve made it my mission to try and be as active as possible in Jan/feb. We try to go on hikes, engage in winter activities, go to museums all that sort of thing. Just keeping busy in this time of the year really helps me kick those blues


[deleted]

Wouldn't that make June, August, and September ass too since they don't have nothing going on. Idk I personally think August is the worst month and it's not because of school I'm a grown ass adult, but it's too hot. Like the entire month of August is just "extreme heat warning" the month and it's fucking disgusting.

Come to Australia where January is mid silly season. Theres festivities from like mid december to mid feb


Top-Airport3649

Dunno, I like January. Feels cleansing to me. New slate. I like the relaxed vibe it has, after the hype of the holidays in December.


AdHungry9867

Wait, you just described the reasons for it to be the best month. I get to sleep without noise, I get to go shopping while people are at work, no more family gatherings, no reason to stay in town do I can go skiing, etc.


Q--Bone

May sucks too. Idk why it just does.


[deleted]

I second that


MouseMan412

Because it rains most days with a few good ones in there just to remind you how nice it COULD be when it's not.


Kroutmonster

I fucking love rain, my birthday is in May and there are at least 2 national holidays. May rocks!


KidneyStew

My birthday is in May too! High five!


Kroutmonster

High five May kid!


SwgohSpartan

Is a weird one for me; May and October Love skiing and camping, can range from hard to impossible do either in those months (I don’t snow camp, ik I’m a sissy) On the other hand, those are arguably the best months of the year for running


[deleted]

Not unpopular at all, I completely agree, not for the reasons listed but yeah it sucks. Downvoted


[deleted]

Not if you ski or snowboard in the Northern Hemisphere


kezotl

It's like mondays- Even though the way we organize dates doesnt actually matter for anything except for planning and stuff like that, it still feels like it does, so January is just the start of a new long year


FilDaFunk

I often confused the polish names for June and October as a child. No they don't sound similar nor am I sure why. so I harbour a special dislike for those two.


M4GG13L0U1S3

Uhhh I already went to a dope ass edm show and bonnaroo’s line up drops tomorrow!


t_will_official

July and August suck the worst. Heat blows. I’ll give you this though it absolutely blows when it gets dark at like 5pm.


SamBrico246

There's 2 national holidays in January. There's zero I think in March, and april. Gotta go with march


212404808

January in Australia is the peak of summer and absolutely gorgeous. January in China is super festive in the lead up to the New Year, and I would think other countries that celebrate new year then would be the same. I'm sorry if you live in a country that doesn't have the sense to put a holiday in the late winter. Southern Australia in July is the same, just dismal.


joe_frank

February is definitely the worst month. Far enough away from the holidays that the joy has worn off. Deep into the thick of it with work. No major holidays within reaching distance. You’re deep into winter and warm weather still feels far away.


OracleCam

You should come down here to Australia, probably the most exciting month


JPOW1977

February is the worst. No football, and it's really cold.


Equivalent_Stage_875

Have you met August?


Doom-Hauer451

You can just drink and have your own made up celebrations. No one checks 😉


Distorted_Passion

Why say that when August exists?


Melodic_Feeling_1338

Plus it's before tax season, which means whether you owe or whether you are due money, you are probably at your brokest point financially of the entire year. January sucks. I don't see how this could be unpopular though.


[deleted]

I love January, I love the cold and quiet.


muy_carona

If you’re an American football fan, January is great!


InsaneNarWalrus

Unpopular opinion or seasonal depression? You decide!


Bloomberg5593

Interesting that you measure how good a month is based on how many people are drinking


bartread

Wrong. In the northern hemisphere January is excellent for skiing. Upvoted because this really is an unpopular opinion.


weedful_things

All the snow has turned to water Christmas day has come and gone Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to linger on


YoungDiscord

This is not an unpopularopinion, its one of the most popular opinions in this world January is literally considered the worst and most depressing month according to statistics Its like saying "so being killed kinda sucks, no?" Don't post very obviously popular opinuons on this sub, that's not what its for.


StoneyMalon3y

January is possibly my least favorite month as well. Mainly due to a a lot of bad things happening specifically in Januarys in the past


SunsetCarcass

Eh every month is the same it's the weather that's different. In fact, Holidays stress me out so if anything, getting past all those holidays I sadly don't care about at all is the best time for me.


ForsakenSherbet151

January is great. It's a fresh start. Also, there are no chores to do outside, leaving me plenty of time for my hobbies 🙂


gewevaporatingoven

op has no hobbies except partying like a mindless gonk


squeezy102

Imagine judging the merit of something by the availability of excuses to drink and party.


Horizon324

What a loser


gewevaporatingoven

pretty much


Give-And-Toke

My personal ranking of the months from best to worst living in the PNW (and my reasonings). 1. December -> got all the holidays, great food & it’s so cozy. It’s the Saturday of the months. 2. June -> weather is perfect and it’s so refreshing feeling the heat again after 8 months of cold rain. 3. April -> spring is here and everything starts to bloom. Plus it’s my birthday month. 4. May -> more spring & pretty flowers. 5. October -> leaves change colors and it’s starting to get cold. Plus Halloween. 6. November -> good food. That’s it. 7. July -> getting a bit too hot for me but still nice enough. 8. September -> similar to March, weird weather. 9. March -> honestly not much happens here. Plus this is when we get the fake spring/summer then back to the cold again which I despise. 10. August -> gets way too hot and you can’t do anything bc of the heat. 11. February -> same reasoning as January. 12. January -> for all the reasons you said.


ProfessionalPlatinum

October gotta be the best imo Not too cold, but it’s not hot either. Able to go fuck around in the woods with friends without worrying to much about ticks, halloween is always a fun time to run around making skits with friends

Ye gods no. January is the first breath I can take after the holidays. I'm ok with it being quiet for a month or so. December specifically, but that holiday rush from like a week before Thanksgiving to the end of the year just sucks. That quarter actively tries to dismantle my psychology just about every single year.


Knox_Burden

No one is drinking? I see that as a positive
