    I like a drink, but with 2 young kids I rarely bother. I went on a girls night out in January. Getting woken early the next morning by a 1 year old and 3 year old was not fun!

    I drank loads when I was at university, and in my early 20s, so I've had my fun :smile:

    Me in an average YEAR:

    2 - 3 beers

    2. - 3 shots

    4 - 5 mixed drinks......

    And most of those come over a period of about 4 or 5 nights a year that I drink..... I'm a wild man, eh?

    I'm a "vacation drinker" for the most part. I'm not driving on vacation so I will have a few. When not on vacation I might have a wine cooler now & then while at home BBQ-ing or a rare glass of wine if we go out & I'm not driving. My sister was killed 20+ years ago in a drunk driving accident so I take it very seriously about "not drinking & driving". Besides, do I really want to waste my calories on drinking?

    When I drank, all I did was TALK about the things I should do.

    Now I just do them.
