I don't always make wise decisions,
but I did last night. You?

20 months in. The wife felt terrible and I felt perfect
Had a drink in October 2023 while I was on vacation to see if I liked it. First one since my 21st birthday in 2008. Still don’t care for it.
Just had a few sips of the Brut that got sent to our table by mistake.
I intentionally only ordered sparkling water which I find is a great replacement for pretty much everything that works for me.
Went to bed around 9:30 after some mullein tea.
same 🍷
Why ppl stay up till midnight getting pissed on NY makes no sense to me. Do you really want to start the new year on the back foo, hung over and tired? Or are you thinking and planning how you are going to dominate the new year?🤷
Absolutely!
None for me! But judging from my early morning run, there were were a few 😆 
I was born into a family of tee-totalers. They were so extreme that they wouldn't even patronize a restaurant if it served alcohol. After the patriarch died, I discovered Dad was the only teetotaler. Everyone else were closet alcoholics who came out of the closet and showed me why Dad was anti-alcohol. For some people, there's no such thing as alcohol in moderation.
i also have tee-totaler parents and grandparents. I'm starting to think I need to follow the tradition.
i had half a glass of wine last night and felt like my epiglottis was going to melt for several hours afterwards. Not sure what alcohol +food does to my stomach nowadays, but i just can't drink it at all with acid reflux at night. i'm in my mid-30s.
i'll make an exception for a hypothetical trip to south france and visiting a cheese cave. or maybe someone's homemade beer.
My grandpa became a tee-totaler/non-smoker early 30s after serving in Navy. I remember when he would visit, we would have to eat dinner by 5pm so he could sleep without feeling heart-burn. He also had debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. His motto in the morning was , "same old oats, same old hay, same old breakfast everyday." Now i wonder if his oatmeal gave him the rheumatoid athritis. Or maybe it was something stressful in the South Pacific that triggered it.
Nice!
