New Light For You....
YAY.... Enjoy, hope you all have a "Blast"....
As for drinking, I am not much of a drinker at all, I will have a Margarita now and then, and a Coors Light with my pizza, but that's about it.
Only one beer tho, two makes my lips numb....

I have read and enjoyed everyones comments - thanks. What people have written here confirms my feelings about alcohol, it is a pleasurable thing but something that can get out of hand (obvious I know). This is why I started this post really, because although I don't think my present consumption is dangerous, I recognise that the road to ruin with booze is incremental. I guess that probably each year my consumption has gone up and that does concern me a little. Velvetann said: " Well I decided that it was becoming to much of a habit, I was conditioned to having to have a drink in order to relax" That I think is the tipping point and I recognise it is how I feel now, so I would rather try to keep it in check now than have to give it up in the future because it got out of control - that would be depressing, wine/beer on the patio is what retirement is all about, isn't it?
On the other hand you people who don't enjoy a drink - Unlucky! - but again everything in moderation...oops, sounding like a JW there.

"but again everything in moderation...oops, sounding like a JW there. "
I can't remember which philosopher coined that phrase, but it's one of the quotes the JWs didn't misuse. It's very true and applicable. -

It started with a glass of wine or a beer or two to relax. Then it was every night, then the amounts went up. This was over a period of about 25 years. On August 29,2005 I checked into treatment. I haven't had a drink since.
