Let me begin by saying, I drink very rarely; few times a year.
When I drink, i get the feeling that my brain in running on powersaving mode; only the most basic functions are operational. It’s a fun feeling when I’m drinking, but I can’t imagine doing that regularly.
I’m not sure if this constitutes as bragging but I am proud of the fact that I can recall information quite well, and any activity which hinders this is not to my liking. The hangover is also bad, where the brain is slow for the next entire day.
I want to know the community thinks about drinking and how it effects/doesn’t affects their work and life and how they get around it. Any alternatives and tips?
I drink maybe a few times a month and even then not much. The older I get, the harder it is on me. I have definitely taken it too far a few times in life, both in a session and a few times where the habit became everyday for some months. Neither are good. But periodic drink while breaking bread with companions is a great thing I think.
And I make mead and love it. So that goes down the hatch too. We are fortunate not to have formed habits that hurt our lives. Everything in moderation. Not good to overdo it but no sense in teetotaling either.
