I quit about a year ago. I was a big drinker for 30 years and when I found out I was BP last year, I just gave it up. It was an easy choice for me because I don't consider myself dependent on it. Looking back, I would drink when I was manic and just go go go. Booze just added to my problems. Plus, I am taking medication now and don't want to cross it. I think about it here and there but I don't really dwell on it. Been there, done that. It's time for a new flay-va.

Pilsner Urquell was my beer of choice, a nice smooth Czech pils. I also liked Yuengling but only in smaller doses because it's a heavier lager and it can weigh you down. When I had some money in my pocket, I'd buy Chimay, a great Belgian ale. Try it with some Mexican food.
