I liked boozing it up a little before a Rock show, but those days are behind me now. Wife is not inclined to drink unless I'm drinking and I just don't feel like it any more.

On the bar collecting dust sits half bottles of Costco Crown and Grey Goose knockoffs, plus a fifth of Bacardi which will probably last us the next 10 years. From whisky and Van Halen, to ice water w/lemon and Classical (most pleasing to my f'd up ears for any duration). Man, I didn't see that coming.

On the plus side, since also giving up daily headphones and loud stereo, I've been able to concentrate far better. Back on F-19 Redo (Stealth Fighter for Windows 95) and figuring out things that I once thought were hopelessly beyond my mental capabilities. My confidence is growing by the day that I can actually make this happen. And when I do, I'll probably buy a bottle of cheap champaign.



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

Nice, plenty of future options to explore. I'm mostly a beer guy because I am such a lightweight!

There is a somewhat new microbrewery in the city that specialized in sour beers and ales that I am hoping to visit this month. I have never tried any sours but several coworkers have given the brewery a thumbs up.

I quit drinking a long time ago, so my weekend drinks will be coffee, soda and water. Trust me a life with no alcohol will save you a lot of money and time.

Plus, since it is 2020 now after all and life as we know it is completely different, we need a new thread that is titled "What are you drinking today starting at 11AM or whatever f***ing time you feel like it?"

Yeah, life really has changed in 2020 (looking back over necro'd thread)!

I enjoy an occasional buzz, about every three months or so. But for now my inner Gunny doesn't allow alcohol, at least until my goals are met. Also no cursing (although he constantly swears at me) and especially no purposeless anytime internet browsing. If he gets any stricter, I might have to find a new mental mentor! screwy ?

In the summer, I drink a glass of wine at lunch. Outside of that, I only drink more than 2 or 3 beers every month or so with the team, but it has more to do with my metabolism and the beer becoming body fat instantly. I can't really recall the last time I drank copious amount of alcohol, but it must've been about a month ago?

Small Batch Woodford Reserve - Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Best thing is I'll be enjoying it on Longboat Key on the Gulf of Mexico. Bourbon at night, Gin or Corona during the day.

Always enjoyed responsibly and in moderation :-)

Sober for 18 years. I quit when my second child was born. My daughter was 4 at the time, she made a comment about all the empty "deer bottles" on the counter. I realized there were 18 of them, all from me drinking alone, and it wasn't even dinner time yet.
When I drink, I can't stop, 'Ill drink until the sun rises, or the booze runs out. Did it many times. When drinking it becomes the most important thing, everything is secondary. I did not want my kids watching this every weekend (I was a weekender). The craving does not go away completely though. Especially in the summer. And now that they sell it in grocery stores now (new to Ontario) the craving hits when I walk down that aisle. But I am better without it. Definitely don't miss hangovers. Saves me a lot of money too.

Tea. I have had 4 drinks this year, two for my birthday in June, one with some buddies on Memorial Day, and one about 3 weeks ago.
