Hi TPND, more later probably, but right now...

Which of course makes me do it even more, because I'm lucky and don't suffer with hangovers. So... I'm kinda stuck at the moment with that too, especially since I've just turned 18.
I just wanted to acknowledge that I'm feeling a bit uneasy about that part. 1/2( )

On the one hand, I used to drink too when I was around your age, and it never seemed to do me much harm. Later, a pdoc whom I worked for warned me that I had an "addictive personality" but despite that, I never actually got addicted. Later I found I preferred about one beer a night, and still later I stopped almost completely because I seemed to feel a little better the next morning without it than with. I currently average about one beer a year and even so, I'm about two years behind my quota.

On the other hand, several years ago a friend of mine was severely addicted to alcohol. During the time I knew her she went through detox at least three times and was still having a hard time putting her life back together after quitting. She'd been sober for six months when she died. I'd hate like hell to see anyone else go that route.

So -- this may be getting a bit old but -- I hope you'll take good care of yourself.
