[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you have time. Many people have a glass of wine at dinner or a beer after work. One is no big deal it becomes a problem when it creeps to 2 or 3 or more and they get that fat alcohol belly. One a night is fine. [/quote]

No, I don't have time. By the time the kids are off to bed, the house is cleaned up, the dog is walked, I want to get in bed and read a book, not get a buzz on. [/quote]
This is different than not having time. It’s actually possible to have a beer WHILE reading a book.[/quote]

Will it make reading the book better? In my experience, it will just add calories and make it harder to sleep.[/quote]

For you. Some people don't have negative reactions to alcohol, either because they actually need it (i.e. are dependent on it) or because they process it differently. I personally don't drink much, but don't assume that your experience is everyone's experience. [/quote]

This. I’m in my 40s and my body is done with alcohol. I used to drink regularly (not problem drinking, but not too far from it). I cut back sort of unintentionally, and then gradually stopped. I’d order a cocktail every once in a while at dinner with friends and wouldn’t be able to finish it, and would still feel sick the next day. I had half a glass of wine a couple of years ago and felt sick almost immediately. It’s like my body knows it’s poison and reacts accordingly. So no more alcohol for me.

But my close friends still drink. When we go to dinner they usually have wine or a cocktail, though mocktail choices are getting more interesting and sometimes they’ll have one of those instead. They don’t drink as much as when we were younger, but they don’t have negative reactions to a couple of glasses of wine. [/quote]
