    Might wanna bump this in the a.m when more folks are online as I am QUITE sure you're bound to get more input as more folks see it. It's been a topic here before so I know folks have thoughts on it.:flowerforyou:

    If there was a crunch that gave me a buzz...well, other than something illegal, I'd do it...but I LOVE my vodka...the grey goose needs a home...I'm juss sayin...poor goose...

    No, I certainly will admit to my alcohol, although it's not popular to talk about. I used to not eat so I could drink..............duh, as I got older that didn't work out for me either, lighter in the morning, only to eat or drink fluids and I'd gained it back. So I am with you..........I have accounted for my beers though, but maybe not all of them...:blushing:
