How Do You Drink Socially?
I love being social and partying once in awhile. With my acid reflux, I now know I cannot go to an extreme, but a small drink every once in awhile is okay. Honestly, that is the least of my problem.
Calories. Sugar. Eating to sober up. Those are the things that are associated to drinking (in my opinion) that make it not fun. I may have a good time and enjoy the taste, but in the end, the next day, there is a part of me that feels guilty.
Overall, anyone knows that drinking is not good for the body. It is a poison. The line, “what’s your poison?” did not come out of thin air.
As an addict, I see food as a poison in general at times. Anything I put in my mouth can be over analyzed especially if I do not know what is in it.
Back to drinking - I want to find a good balance with it when I do decide to drink. I know I cannot drink on a regular basis. My body can’t take that kind of regularity and I would like to find a balance. In the end, if it meant to work with my health, it will work. … we’ll see …

Once a year, at work, we are encouraged to take a “Health Assessment”. It asks you the kinds of typical things that cause lower levels of health issues that still lead up to big bucks for companies that offer health care. Things like buckling up while in a vehicle, smoking and cholesterol. While I don’t know my cholesterol, I buckle up every time I am in any car, I don’t drink and I don’t smoke. Do you know what my results were?
I should have two servings of alcohol PER DAY!!! PER DAY?!?! Like, not in a week, but A DAY!! So, yeah. It’s great that I don’t smoke, and I wear a seat belt, but I need to consume more alcohol.
Make of that what you will. (Oh, and NO I’m not going to start drinking alcohol because I took a “Health Assessment” and it suggested that I do.)
