What's this?

Stopped drinking about 25 years ago...

Just a personal choice after seeing the effects of alcohol on some people close to me. I dont miss it at all.

Yeah, I find myself leaving parties and other events early because the more alcohol, the more obnoxious some people get. And, at times, it leads to some bad behavior with consequences.

It's my choice and I don't fault people that drink.
