I would never give up alchol unless one more drink would kill me
everything in moderation ..a beer or glass of wine a day is fine, the odd blow out too
if its all or nothing for some people then fair enough, cant understand that but there you go..
moderate drinkers live longer ..;-)
sure i spent my youth getting pissed far too often, some great laughs but also cost me in other ways.
i will be advising my sons to try moderation but will see if they listen in the future..
