I never feel better after a evening of alcohol consumption, therefore, I typically refrain from such activities. If,however, I'm not driving and there's cold alcohol choices, I'll indulge but only for a calm buzz. I hate the violent upheaval associated with heavy alcohol consumption. When I was younger some of my buddies drank heavy and when I drank alongside I usually got sick and/or had a hangover. Some of them became serious alcoholics and I went in the opposite direction. Also, I could drink beer at home when I was under legal age so the cache of consuming alcohol as a teen wasn't the same enticement for me as many of my peer group.
Likely my liver and other recyclables will live on past me...Oh, and I just finished a glass of blueberry juice and then switched to water.
