I saw folks complaining about others responding to old posts, and thought it would be
funny to respond to a *really* old post, but I wanted it to be something worthwhile,
and this one was. It took me some time to find something worthy of quoting..

I don't drink Bud Light, and hadn't been drinking at all when I posted that.. In the hours
since then I made dinner, and had my first beer with dinner. I just opened my third can
of https://www.swee****erbrew.com/brews/hop-hash-easy-ipa/ It comes in 15 packs
for $15.99, and is the same ABV as Bud Light, but it tastes really good, instead of
crappy like Bud Light. It's actually lower alcohol than that because I drink it over ice.
I've spent the last 30+ years drinking less and less alcohol, though it's been three
steps forward, two steps back on and off, and there have been a few times where I've
cut the alcohol more drastically, but that never lasted all that long.

I still drink more than is ideal for my physical health. I know that, but I also know that
I'm functional, happy, and I haven't driven a car impaired in many years, though a few
years ago I did ride my scooter home from a gathering of old friends in a park when I
really shouldn't have, which greatly displeased my dear wife. I haven't taken a shot
of liquor in over 21 years, and other than infrequent sips of liqueurs, I never drink
anything stronger than sweet wine, again infrequently, and also typically over ice.

My posts aren't those of a sloppy drunk. If you didn't know that before, know it now.
