Opinions on AF are hugely divided on SR. It’s each to their own, and if anyone is struggling, they should steer clear. I haven’t had any AF for well over a year.
I used to live in Asia, but that recent trip was with an Asian family in a new country for me. No one seemed to know where they were going 🤣 We ended up driving all night or stopping at some very basic places - with 9 of us in one room! It would have been intolerable for a drinker. The old me would’ve exploded at not being able to plan my next beer!
