on consuming alcohol for fun
last couple of years(since 2016 really) have been filled with stress, escaping to the bottle and depression.
last 6 months have been joyful, the stress is almost gone, or at least it's not constant but shows up in small spikes instead, not really sure if that's better or not, only time will tell.
but this has led to a lacking interest in alcohol, do not get me wrong, I firmly enjoy spirits, a nice whiskey to warm the soul, a fresh cider to tickle the tongue, and everything in-between.
celebrations tend to involve consuming, according to the recommendation from the state, too much alcohol.
with the celebration of the new year coming up I today splurged.
- 2 bottles of whiskey
- 2 beers
- 4 bottles of hard liqueur
- 1 cider (grapefruit flavoured, very great as a palate cleanser)
the people I will celebrate with will bring whatever they wish to drink, and we will certainly share among friends.
on my future with alcohol
I would like to be more fair towards my body and mind, be more bold and firm in my belief that alcohol, though it may be tasty and best enjoyed with friends, I shall stop.
not stop as in never having a glass of wine at a dinnerparty or a beer at the pub. but stop as in not having more than a glass of wine or a beer.
