[quote=Anonymous]I don’t really drink. Here’s what I mean by that:

Because wine can be a migraine trigger and is linked with breast cancer (and I have a family history of BC), I pretty much gave up wine. I might have a few sips once or twice a year at a holiday event or gathering.

Because beer is fattening and upsets my stomach, I only have one beer 0 to 3 times a year (think: really cold light beer with a lime wedge at a party or on vacation…and I never finish the entire bottle).

I’ll have 1 or 2 hard ciders (probably half the serving) each year at a bonfire or beer farm each fall season.

A tiny bit of champagne once or twice a year at party.

Frozen drinks on vacation. Never finish the entire drink (barely half…which frustrates my cheapskate husband).

Another way to think about this: we don’t keep beer or booze in our house and if I never had another drink for the rest of my life I wouldn’t really notice or miss it.

FTR, I’ve never had a drinking problem. I just realize it’s not healthy and I’m long past my teen years when getting drunk was fun.

In 2024, anyone who drinks daily must not be paying attention to the research. [/quote]
