Reminds me of the old WC Fields quip: 'We were on safari in Africa - it was horrible. Someone forgot to pack the corkscrew and for two weeks we had to live on nothing but food and water.'
As to the topic, I gave up alcohol 15 years ago. I enjoyed drinking, but it got to the point where it was causing more trouble than it solved.

I don't see the point in drinking now.
I've never been inbetween with drinking, when I was young I would hate beer and hate pubs. My goal was to get absolutely smashed on cider, spirits, alcopops or whatever, do it either outside with my friends somewhere or go into a nightclub and act stupid.
I'm 32 and too old to get smashed and act like an idiot on alcohol, and I'm too restless and anti social to sit still in a pub with other men, I don't want a beer belly, the idea of sitting alone drinking just depresses me. A girl talked me into drinking on my birthday about 2 or 3 years back and the hangover from that made me think fuck drinking again.
Plus my heart skips beats sometimes and alcohol can make it worse, this is the original reason why I quit drinking so I guess it could have been a blessing in disguise because I was going quite heavy at it.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

No matter how many hangovers I get, I still keep drinking. I think I'm a sucker for pain.

Alcohol could interfere with my meds and I never developed a liking for it anyway.

Nice work, Thena!
I only drink every so often, if at all.
Freudian finger slip?
Just kidding, hehe.
