Today makes 2 weeks without a drop of alcohol. I'm not sure how long I'll go before allowing a wee dram but wanted to take a break for now. It is always good to have a dry period. Just to make certain who is in control of which. When alcohol becomes a daily necessity trouble lies ahead. Exactly! It wasn't causing any issues or becoming a "problem" but was a daily routine. Like you said, a break is not only good physically but lets you know you're in charge. 👍 |

Tanqueray Gin with Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water. No ice but the Tonic was chilled. Just right.

I have to remind myself to have the occasional drink. Ahhhh.... Yes indeed. I'm liking this. It's good and not heavy at all. If I was eating wings or a steak I would prefer the Bock, but with the light meals or a salami sandwich it's perfect. |

They had shiner bock in several varieties, but I am not into strawberry and such, just the flagship ale. After looking at the ad, they extended the $5 all weekend, it goes for a whole range of groceries, picked up a couple tri-tips for Memorial Day. imgur.com/a/Tz1CYGQ |
