But one of the joys of reducing your drinking significantly is having the odd cheeky cheat night and enjoying it tremendously.
I think you need to be less strict with yourself, Charles and sneak in a few G&Ts or glasses of fine red every now and then.
I really do enjoy alcohol more now that I drink less, if you see what I mean.
I would disagree with your contention. Alcohol should be enjoyed on multiple levels; not only the steam in and get trolleyed situation, but the gentle enjoyment of a few pints or glasses over several hours. As an example, I take my son to the pub at 12pm every Sunday (training, I refer to it as), he has two pints of coke, I have 2-3 pints of ale and we share a large plate of chips. Upon returning to Chez WES, I have no desire for more alcohol. I kip on the couch, a book in front of the fire in the kitchen, either of these nicely finish off the experience.
You, as I recall, have Irish blood, however.
