My mate Gulchan never drinks a drop - he can appear to be as zonked as the rest of us (symbolic interactionism?), then shake his head and become the best dedicated driver of all time. Religion has its uses! I feel like going out for one now - my local is open Xmas day, but what kind of other saddoes will be in the pub? Sue has never really regained the taste for booze since her chemo 6 years back. I was drinking pretty heavily 10 years back, but have felt much less need to since being diagnosed diabetic - now it's less drink itself than wanting company - pathetic really as the company "turns me to drink". Getting rid of many of the bad things jobwise, partnerwise (still regret I couldn't do more be it was too dangerous to stay) and some kind of control of the diabetes have made me less inclined to want to be blotted out. Pubs themsleves have made things easier - they are nearly all crap. Chocolate is frankly harder to dispense with! I got round to "mostly Friday" drinking a long time ago, but even this is beyond me really. I put weight on when I give up completely. Chaz will have to forgive me for laughing my socks off at the thought of "a puzzling little red wine"! I suspect we have all had a few bottles of that long before disease got to us!
