I dare say it's taking me the better part of four decades to rise to that enlightened position of imbibe.
I did have literally seven years off after a particularly bad hangover. But then my brother turning a milestone age brought me back in his "honor", i.e. consumption ability/reputation.
But lately I've been mostly able to stick to a couple glasses of wine or less.
Beer's a different animal for me, though, as carbonated alcoholic beverages somehow hit me at least twice as hard as their less bubblicious counterparts. Plus, I vastly prefer beer to wine, which of course also "heavies the foot" on the glasses per hour pedal.
On the topic of glasses per hour, I was just gifted an impressive coffee machine for my home. As a severely recovering caffeine-addict, I have mixed feelings about this.
