Here is something you might find of interest...

What is moderation?

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control

Moderate drinking is no more than
2 drinks a day for men..1 for women

They consider a drink to be
12 oz. of beer..5 oz. of wine...1 1/2 oz of liquor.

Your body and mind processes all 3 toxins equally
so drinking only wine or only liquor or only beer
or mixing them is of no importance.
They all do the same damage...not just to alcoholics.


According to the Center for Disease Control

22,000 deaths are recorded per year as being alcohol
induced this is excluding accidents and homicides,
on top of that number there is another 13,000 people
who die per year from alcohol related liver diseases.
As you do have young children.....I am concerned
about what could happen late at night
What if they needed you to be mentally alert?
That buzz fog would not be useful in an emergecy.

And ...of course....you wish to see them grow up
You want to set a healthy example for them
I'm certain.

Not trying to guilt trip you ...just things I hope you
will consider

Blessings to you and your family
