    Hi Everyone,

    I had planned on being AF today. But, Sundays are never good for me because the liquor store closes at 5 pm on Sundays. I bought a pint (375 ml). But, recently, I've been drinking 575 to 750 ml. So, I guess it is LA.

    I do plan to have an AF day tomorrow. The drinking isn't doing me any good. A lot of my health issues are being caused by vitamin (mainly B's) and mineral (mainly potassium and magnesium) deficiencies. I looked up these vitamins/minerals to see what could cause a deficiency. There are many reasons listed. But, one reason that is common to all of them is, "alcohol use disorder". By the way, did you know that they changed the name from alcoholism to alcohol use disorder?

    I've been watching some You Tube videos by Dr. JoΓ£o Sorio Endocrinologist. I believe he lives in Brazil. But the videos are in English. He talks about liver health, diabetes, thyroid health, hormones, healthy lifestyle, etc. I'm really impressed. I know that some of the people on You Tube don't know what they're talking about and give out misinformation. But I think this guy is for real! You may want to check him out!

    After listening to him...I better quit!

    @SparkSpringtime69 You're right! His advice about liver health is what is basically recommended for good health in general. I eat pretty healthy. But I really need to get moving more πŸ™‚
