Giving up requires too much will power.

Probably one of the most pathetic instances of New Years detox comes from those overworked (sic) private chalet girls Loti and Fran. On Thursday night, after a couple of rounds of cocktails at the ISBA, the pledge to give up alcohol for a whole week was lorded as their example.
Obviously Australian's use a different sort of calendar that doesn't include days that might get in the way of the drink. Even before the detoxification had started an aggressive retox at the Meribel's Rond Point was being arranged and being moved backwards from Thursday to Wednesday. 6 days all of a sudden turned into 5. Had they had more time maybe they could have restarted on Sunday.
