Drinking

I quit drinking about 3 years ago. 

It wasn't an alcoholism thing.  I had an AFib/ Blood Pressure issue in August 2022 that put my in the hospital for a couple days.   A couple of the medications I've been on shouldn't be taken with alcohol, so I laid it down. 

I'd been ramping down anyway,  after Dad died.   He'd been drinking too much in the months prior to his passing,  and it was turning me off.  

But,  I'd still have a beer at a baseball game (the last beer I had was at a Chattanooga Lookouts game in late v July 2022).  I'd have a beer or two at pub trivia.   But I was nearing teetoler status as it was. 

By and large,  I don't miss it.  Rarely even think about it. 

But tonight,  watching the All-Star Game,  a beer might have been nice. 

Several months back,  I went to see friends of friends play music at a local venue.   I knew a couple people there.   A beer might have helped as a social lubricant. 

But anyway.   A beer at a ballgame might be nice.   But I'm not rushing for the stuff. 

Just a random thought.....
