Spent the year angry and seeing alcohol everywhere. It is still everywhere but I don't notice it as much. The final paragraph is so true. I'm so happy to "be on this side of the pool!"

By the way--I'm still angry at expectations of women in this society. I just do not drink over them and have learned to accept myself.
