I read this story at The Blaze, and I thought I was sacrificing for Lent!
An Illinois man named J. Wilson has resolved to give everything up except water and a special kind of beer during Lent, and no, this isn't some kind of stunt, but something he has been looking into and has been consulting with his pastor on.
The story mentions his interest in an alcoholic brew which was used by monks in ancient times, described as “liquid bread”. He also has been documenting his experience at this blog.
Considering the potential health risk from not eating any food between now and Easter, I hope he will be alright. I further hope he succeeds, and that he doesn't forget what the purpose of Lent is for.
