It sounds like you have great genetics! If you’re drinking daily, and haven’t had a serious illness yet, that’s remarkable. Of course people “drink” differently. A white wine spritzer with ice is different than a Martini!

So, many people try to cut back or eliminate alcohol using a current trend I’ve read about called Dry January.

BTW I’ve picked up on another trend recently, with 0 alcohol liquor. I tried the 0 proof wines that have been around for awhile and they were awful. However, I tried a couple of new 0 proof liquors with better results. Tried the “tequila alternative” recently, mixed it with lime juice, triple sec and it tasted good. These are premium products and go for $27 to $34 each. You can also cut back on alcohol by using these along with a reduced amount of alcohol.

Anyway, Cheers to a happy 2024!
