You and I are as of one mind it seems. Though lately I’ve been deliberately going without any alcohol for 3 to 4 days a week. I must admit throughout lockdown as i was also going through a financially catastrophic and acrimonious divorce I had a drink pretty much every single evening, though often this might involve a single glass of wine with my evening meal.
I get the occasional lecture on my drinking, but on the whole I have no wife, children, and at the moment am not working (I will take a contract for a couple of months a year) so it’s my life and as long as my drinking affects no one else and I am not dependant on it or suffering from withdrawal if I stop, then it’s my business and mine alone.
I don’t judge, each to their own.
