Part of growing old is being mature enough to realize that no one really gives a ship about how much and how often you drink.

Do what you dig. Whatever that may be.

That's the Rave part of getting older.

Btw Cod & Cask was great. Don't miss the potato cod dish.

The guy we stayed with while our power was out is about 25. My husband and I didn't realize how old we were until it was about 11:00, and he was like, "See ya. I'm going to meet up with some friends later." After he left, we were like, "Oh yeah, I remember those days."

Definitely. In this case, I don't really care what other people think however. It was sort of disconcerting to me.

I've decided to blame this whole thing on borderline alcoholism a few years ago, and feel good about it instead.

Old and a stat head. I don't think we could ever be friends.

That hurts me Leroy. I was sure we were already friends.

When I started grad school when I was 26 I decided to more or less quit drinking, partly for financial reasons. I've felt younger ever since. I still have a drink with dinner or when I'm out now and then, and I'll have more than one occasionally. But if youth is what you wanna hold on to, the best thing to do is quit getting drunk. .
