I drink on occasion, if the meds I am on are agreeable to doing so. I probably drink 6 times a year. 2 drinks max for me. I am often a designated driver and do not drink at all.
Although I enjoy a drink now and then, I never forget:
The trauma of growing up with an abusive alcoholic and the fact that I have lost my dad and two brothers to alcoholism. Gone. My dad was in his 30's. One brother was 16 y.o. and one was 42 y.o. at the times of their deaths.
