[Groop] alcohol

[Larry Steller]

Ya know, i really love the taste of quality beers, (mmmm, GUINNESS!)
but rarely have more than 1 or 2, and even then maybe once a month. So
I don't have a problem with excess. As my lifestyle changed and I just
naturally started drinkng less, I found that when I was with friends
who drank to excess, I was more and more turned off by their behavior,
which never really had impacted me before.

I've always ben outspoken about not drinking and driving, and the need
to PLAN your night and designate a driver. I willingly became that
designated driver on many occasions, but found myself enjoying the
company of the heavy drinkers less and less.

So, while I enjoy a good beer once in a while, I don't go out any more
when the GOAL of the night is to drink, rather than to be with friends.
I spend more times with friends who don't need the actual alcohol to
have a good time, and find myself having a better time, better quality
conversations, because of it.
