I assumed when I bought it that we'd drink the entire six-pack. Sometimes
life doesn't work out the way one thinks it will. I'm not about to drink
beer when I don't want to just so it won't go to waste.

I used to drink a lot. Six-pack a night. Then I tapered down to
occasional drinking. When I discovered that alcohol gave me
menopausal hot flashes, I pretty much quit because the cost/benefit
ratio wasn't favorable.

I've never been much of a wine drinker, and when I drink mixed
drinks I mix them pretty weak. Anything more than about 8%
alcohol just doesn't taste good to me.

In the last year, my entire alcohol consumption has been two beers
and a couple of shots of Bailey's Irish Cream.
