I don’t drink much anymore because my body doesn’t like me when I do.
I love great wine though. If you appreciate wine and you understand what makes a good wine, and you have the palate to really taste the complexities — wine is wonderful.
But when you don’t feel good after, you might ignore that for a while — maybe even for years, but you become increasingly sensitive to it and bothered in smaller increments.
And this is where I am these days. #alcohol
Earlier this week I made homemade Irish cream. Boy, was it yummy! But not only was it loaded with whiskey, it was also packed with sugar.
So my body was reacting even more.
This morning, I got up and dumped the other half out.
And I’m so proud. I still plan to drink wine tonight, but to choose to get rid of the one I love because it’s bothering me so much more, that’s not something I ever would have done a couple years ago. Good for me. #alcohol
And yes, I’ll have wine tonight! I bought a red wine for earlier last week, and have a white for tonight and a rose bubbly for New Year’s. Then I’ll go back to seldom boozing.
It brings my bottles of wine consumed in 2022 to maybe 15 or so.
Down from about 350 in 2019. Progress! 😂 #alcohol
