“Science says.”
It’s always “that one thing”.
It’s never a cumulative effect.
Sheesh.
It took a while to get to the point at which I forgot all about it, but being sober all the time and not hungover EVAH is downright wonderful.
Note of Warning to All Who Plan to Quit Drinking:
TV and movies are not as good as you thought they were when you were drinking. In fact, they are downright awful. The only TV and movies I find worth watching are British mysteries.;-)
You can have my holiday chocolate when you pry it from my cold, dead, sticky fingers.
BS!
And my first thought is what does that have to do with the price of beans in China? Indigenous tribes have made alcohol products since the dawn of man. What does this educated fool think he is going to do that change humanity?
So one weird trick can lead to depression?
There is no safe level of drinking alcohol.
Ever since I learned that, life became happier.
Sober = Happy :-)
I think I posted this somewhere, but here it is again:
My cardiologist asked me if I smoked. I said no. He asked me if I drank. I said yes. He asked me if I drank socially. I said no. Well he looked at me with his eyebrows raised in question!! I said I take 2 pill supplements before bed, and rather than drinking a few swallows of water, I use red wine— as the resveratol in it is good for the heart. I drink 3 or 4 ounces to wash the pills down, and then I immediately go to bed. So I do drink but it is not sociable as I’m alone. The look on his face was priceless!
We knew that.
Hard liquor, corn whiskey, is one of the big reasons the US prospered in its early years before grain could be transported in bulk. All a farmer had to do to monetize his corn crop was ferment it and distill it into whiskey, with a HUGE volume reduction, and he could ship and sell the resulting whiskey all over, just as George Washington did with the whiskey he produced at Mt. Vernon in very large volumes. It also, through the alcohol tax, became the Federal Government’s largest source of income.
So let’s all take a drink, in moderation, to that good stuff.
Sugar may not be terrible for most people, but it’s very bad for anyone who may be likely to develop type 2 diabetes. There is also some indication that it may weaken the immune system. We don’t use it, since my husband has type 2.
After reading this, I am swearing off cookies.

Hey now. I could use some o’ that.
The one thing that leads to holiday depression seems to be reading these academic papers on the ills of Christmas.
