[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be a once-per-month social drinker but had to stop entirely due to a medical issue. I don't miss the alcohol itself, but I miss the ritual and social aspects of it - a drink at a restaurant bar waiting for the table or happy hour with friends. Maybe this is part of the problem with those having difficulty with dry January. While I know that I can partake in non-alcoholic drinks in these settings, its not quite the same.[/quote] I stopped for medical reasons as well, which wasn't very difficult to do when it wasn't allowed. Sometimes I take a sip of my husband's red wine, and after this long, it tastes like nasty cough mixture. It's weird to see people getting sloshed when it's no longer part of your life. I also object to paying for their expensive drinks if we split the bill.[/quote]
