How important is alcohol to you?

    It's only important if it's in chocolate - just love those chocolate filled brandy beans, or specialty European bars with cognac, pear liqueur, etc. etc.

    The other thing I do enjoy in the summer is Sangria, but that's only on occasion.

    Other than that and the very odd Merlot, I am just fine without it. Probably in the minority, I know.

    OOMPA thanks for the acknowledgement.

    It is a habit isn't it and I know I have to quit for a while to learn that its a treat once in a while, not a way to self medicate. Its not easy and my husband drinks every night to relax so its doubly difficult right now. He wants to sit and drink every night, especially now that the nice weather is here. We love sitting outside by the Lake and pool enjoying and drinking. Its a long weekend here starting today until Tuesday. Thats going to be a challenge.

    I enjoy alcohol but don't like getting drunk. I can easily go several weeks without any and I wouldn't even miss it.

    Not that important. I'd place it somewhere between oxygen and food!

    (I'm not an alcoholic, just Irish.)

    OH.. MY GOODNESS... sorry I'm still laughing my arse off at "My My God why have you forsaken me?" Denial is not just a river in Egypt, it is alive and well in heavy drinkers all over Oz.... LMAO

    Um... in answer to your question. Yep, it's right up there. If I didn't have a regular drink I think someone would have to pay dearly, let's put it that way. ;-)

    it is so peripheral in my life that
    it could disappear altogether and
    i just might not notice....

    I enjoy alcohol. So much so that I am now employed at the liquor store I shop at!

    I was drinking more, usually too much wine or my fave, Crown. But now it is one or two a night.

    I also love to toast the setting sun with a nice glass of wine, or ice chinking in a glass of Crown and ginger.

    Crownies, mumz! Good for you.

    You're an adopted Aussie already. :-)

    Wait a second. Crown and ginger? How does that work exactly?

    Not very important. Wine gives me a headache. I don't like the taste of beer, ale, or hard liquor. I tend to drink sweet mixed drinks on the few occasions that I do drink and then it's only one drink that I nurse all night. I guess I'm no fun.
