I don't go to bars these days.However,I enjoy an occasional Bud Light. 1 (one) on an empty stomach provides me with a 'shot' of relaxation.
I no longer imbibe the harder stuff.
At 40,I'm still "working-out" intensely,and simply can't afford to feed / hydrate my muscles with a lot of alcohol.
Once I start,I don't want to stop. I've learned what my weaknesses are,and alcohol is one of them !
It's pretty much only water,green tea,and protein drinks for me.
But to each their own...so,go rock yourselves !!
