Celibate for Lent?

I don't know about anyone else but I'm starting to get confused about what I should and shouldn't be doing each month. In January I'm urged to stay dry and become Vegan, in October I have to stay sober and in November I have to grow a moustache. The problem for me is I love eating meat and cheese, I enjoy a beer and there is as much chance of me growing facial hair and looking like Magnum P.I or Dick Strawbridge as there is of winning the lottery. In fact things could only get worse, if someone announces a Let's Go Celibate for Lent campaign (Celibent).
