One thing with booze - it wears off so fast you have to keep dosing to keep the buzz going. So your missing out on a few 1 hour feelgood sessions - u can do that! Here's what you're also missing:

Hangovers
Sleep disruptions
Stomach issues
Immune system supression
Emotional rollercoasters
Wobbly balance

Boozin's an Illusion! Hang in there Bif!
