LKC I miss the party days too
I liked going to bars after work having beers and chicken wings. As I got older I liked nice big glasses of wine several times a week. (We all read that wine is good for you.) But with the big S's I may have a 3.2 beer once a month and if I have wine it is a small amount and I take about 3 hours to drink it. The big S's are your life like it our not and there are many worse things. I like to drive, board, hang with my fam, and many other things.That can all be taken from you. Drinking several drinks almost always causes me to have even a small seizure with in several days and those hurt. I hate being mentally lost even for seconds. It sure isn't the same as the "high" from drinking. So I have a blast at the bars and parties. There is much more to it then the booze and you learn that when your life just about ends and you get another chance. Think about it, party, have a great time, the booze isn't it. "It" is you and life.
