I gave up Alcohol for Lent

Well, that's not exactly true.  I don't drink hard alcohol or beer so I really gave up wine for Lent.  Of course I don't drink red wine so I guess I gave up white wine for Lent.  But then there are a lot of white wines that I don't drink so technically I gave up Chardonnay for Lent.  There, I gave up Chardonnay for Lent.  Now, when you tell people that you gave up Chardonnay for Lent, they give you a look that says, "Really? That doesn't sound like much of a sacrifice."  And they're quite right.  It isn't a sacrifice.  It's a SAAAC RIII FIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE.
