You and me both DS
I don't know one single person who doesn't drink!
I've just thrown stuff into my recycling bin... clink, clank, clink, clank... it's as if I was still drinking.
In an awful way, its easier for me because I don't have an option to drink as my liver is damaged. Doesn't make it nice though.
I was talking to my sister yesterday, she cheerfully said that she was drinking wine because its the school holidays, yay, celebration (?)... I gently reminded her that we were both from the same gene pool... she said, oh no no no, I'd never be like you etc etc, yes, ok, fine, but in the last year, there has not ben a single occasion that I have visited and the beer hasn't been flowing (so many sports matches to watch blah blah) I even noticed a new fridge that is 'just for alcohol'... This I have not questioned because the answer will be they have SO many friends and their house is SO busy with people.
What I'm kind of trying to say... just think of number one. Do what is best for you.
Actually, I'm just looking at my little dog
she doesn't drink!
