>>23086712 (OP)I used to drink 3 shots of vodka, then 2-3 light beers every evening like clockwork. I would eat my last meal around 5 pm and wouldn't get home till midnight sometimes, so I would get real wasted each night efficiently. That would be the most I would drink, most nights maybe two shots and one beer.
I'd argue, if you can break off for a while, then keep yourself to something like a bottle of Barefoot wine a day, drinking on an empty stomach at the end of the day, you will maximize the joy of alcohol while minimizing the metabolic and mental wear. $150 per month habit.
Also in my opinion, responsible drinking of wine, is approaching culinary practice. It is an excellent way to end the day, a kind of dessert for the mind if you need it, and a way to promote sleep in adult men. In the same way we need to stretch our legs and arms before exerting ourselves maximally, we need to stretch the mind once in a while from the dehumanizing disciplines of making this fake and gay civilization happen.
just my two shekels
