Great read. I too tend to enjoy the drinking side of lie and have my days when I just went to switch up and not be hungover for a while.....not too mention the financial benefit of staying on the wagon.
Love the statement that "5 beers is an appetizer" Haha. When I was 17 that would be more than enough but these days I have 5 beers whilst making the decision as to whether I want to step the night up and go downtown. I will be using the "Appetizer" analogy from now onward if you don't mind.
