Yeah. I don't even think about a drink anymore. It ceased being an option. I don't look up to or down upon others who drink. I know a few people who drink and more who don't. The ones who don't -- don't seem to be missing out on anything. I see them laughing and enjoying life even when they're simply drinking a glass of water.
