I reckon your liver is better off. Plus, that makes the alcohol more enjoyable. Drinking it is more of a special occasion than routine occurrence.

Yes I agree. It’s funny though how society has become so conditioned to drinking all the time. When you say to someone you aren’t drinking there response is usually ā€˜are you OK’ or ā€˜don’t be silly have a drink’. It is easier to tell people you are t total then they just go OK. But tell them you drink but you just don’t want to tonight and they look at you like you are an alien !!

It’s true! We have so much information abou the health benefits of moderate drinking, yet people often have an all-or-nothing view. I wonder why??

The one ā€œjunk foodā€ I keep lying around is ice cream. I don’t portion well, so I eat a pint at a sitting to satisfy any craving that trumps discipline. I self-regulate by only buying Haagen-Daz or Ben & Jerry’s @ $3/pint or less.

Recently, the sales have been so good that I confess I have 6 pints of Haagen-Daz and 4 pints of Ben & Jerry’s sitting in the freezer. I just hope that I don’t get to the supermarket again before the current $2.50/pint sale ends…

Let me know when you polish off your third pint in an hour. Fortunately, I broke this habit last year.

Interesting. I have a hodge-podge of different ice creams because I buy one and have a bowl. Then another, and so on over the course of many months.

They end up going bad before I ever get back to them, because no one else in the house likes any of mine.

By product of habits from growing up poor -food never has time to go bad lol.

The issue with ice cream would be making sure no one hogged more than their fair share!

I developed a coke addiction over the last month. NOT the DRUG. The DRINK. I have no idea why.

It’s a ā€œFreudian slipā€.

You are blessed with a highly evolved survival mechanism that has cleverly fooled your conscious self into believing that it is the drink that you crave, when in reality it is the drug that you need. Because the world makes you want to tell people to say hello to your little friend.

I confess I could just be projecting…

My oldest brother found out what happens when one hogs all of the cheerios!

We may have been younger and smaller, but when it’s 4 on 1 the other 4 are gonna get some cereal :bowl_with_spoon:, one way or another!

Freud? I bury the cockroach!
