Hi @enjoyinglife, great to meet and read your post here! Following and resteemed this for you.
There was a time when I used to drink as part of culture but then I left the culture :) The worst thing is that people drink a few beers and dont even drink to get drunk, it becomes just a habit like smoking. If I drink then its spirits, and get proper wasted. This happens once or twice a year, and people look in shock when I refuse a beer- "But your English" they always say!
This great post, there should be more post like this on the top posts!
Bravo! Thanks for a great read.
