--- Quote from: Front-Ranger on March 18, 2018, 06:40:11 pm ---Haha! For all mixed drinks and spirits, I just have one. I'm kind of a wino, professionally so, since three wineries are my clients. I can drink a beer, but usually only in high summer. And I can drink hard cider, but usually only pear cider. Apple cider upsets my stomach. Among hard spirits, the only thing I can drink is gin, and then only one.

I've never been a big drinker. I may have the occasional beer now. If I'm in the mood for something sweet, I'll get a Mike's Hard Limeade or something along those lines.

I have a glass of wine (currently pinot gris) almost every night while watching the news before dinner. I have just been on a hiking camp and we had happy hour every evening at 5pm so I had several glasses of wine. I may have a beer once a month usually with lunch in a hotel.
It is probably 40 years since I drank any sort of spirits and I do not remember every having a cocktail. I sometimes have a port after dinner in winter. I use to love liqueurs after a meal but roadside breath tests seem to be the end of those, it was no longer the right thing to do to offer them to your guests after dinner before they drove home.

Something within me has changed regarding alcohol consumption.
When I was younger, I could drink a six-pack of beer.
Now, if I drink more than two bottles, it gives me insomnia. I can't sleep at all, and if I do fall asleep, it's very fitful.

Good morning Bettermost!
Working from home today, due to the 4th Nor'easter that's hitting us now. The roads are clear at the moment, but we're supposed to get slammed later, with the heaviest part of the storm hitting late afternoon into tomorrow morning.
I assume I'll be working from home tomorrow too.

Keep safe and warm, Chuck!
Good thing you're able to work from home.
Since I work in health care, I could never do that, no matter how bad the weather gets.
One winter, before I had a car, I simply couldn't get to work. The weather was so bad that the buses didn't run.
I had no other way to get there, so had to stay home. Along with quite a few of my coworkers who usually took the bus.
But we didn't get the day off, we had to use a vacation day for it.
