I am starting to figure out my issues. One of them is the psychological component. The act of opening the wine, serving it .. blah, you get it. Anyway, I don't LIKE the taste of wine. I liked the process of signaling "RELAX TIME". Kinda like smoking was (which I quit cold turkey 11 years ago). Lighting it, etc.
So anyway (you will all see I RAMBLE). Sobriety makes me talk too much
I ate my 92 lbs of sushi dinner and wanted to make it fancy.
So I poured my 12 oz can of Sunkist (real sugar - boom!) into a one of my wineglasses that really are the size of my head.
And...
the wineglass was ONLY 3/4 full!
lessons:
1. My wineglasses could serve as homes for small fish
2. They helped get me plowed
3. Its about the ritual of winding down
4. Sunkist is the nectar of the gods
5. 300 calories of sushi is a helluva lot better than 300 calories of wine.
PS sorry for posting here. Maybe it should go under "alcoholism". Anyway I got excited
