It won't add anything to your life even if you managed to stop at a couple this time, look at it like that.
I am not going to lie, I do not drink because I'm thirsty or because it tastes good. I drink for effect. To escape, for a time out in life. And that's just the truth. 6 hour time out, 24+ hours of recooperation at my age. Doesn't seem logical or smart does it?
