drank very very rarely before age 32, who can blame me.. the only thing I knew back then was Miller and Corona!
Then suddenly started up when someone introduced me to good beer – all the delicious Belgian and German brews! Slowly discovered others as well reds, ambers, doubles, triples etc. and the marvelous craft breweries right here in California. Suddenly I understood how people could love this stuff so much 🙂
These days I will drink 2 beers a weekday, 4 a day Fri-Sun. I don’t find this too excessive although a doctor may disagree.
I know some that drink 6-12 beers a day, that is clearly excessive.
Drinking is fun, it relaxes stress and loosens you up. Stress is a killer as well so it’s got to wash out somehow. The one problem with alcohol is that it increases appetite which means potential weight gain.
I am super physically active though so no weight gain for me, I hike 12-16 miles every weekend and go to the gym thrice a week doing 1+ hour intense workouts…
