That's OK Stam. I've known a few people who couldn't work well when completely sober. I don't think I could be one of them, but there are those days when I think I shouldn't have to do my work sober.

I like beer or wine with dinner, starting with when I'm making the dinner, then while eating it, and if there's any left in the bottle, finish it off after dinner watching a bit of TV. And if the weather calls for it while fishing, beer with lunch is a quality of life thing. I've never understood those who can drink ice cold beer when it's freezing cold out though.

Some would say I'm a lightweight. I like booze in moderation. Getting stumbling drunk, puking my guts out, and hung over the next day just ain't my idea of quality living. Besides, with an alcoholic father and then step-father, I'm not keen on the dark side of booze.
