The **** is going on here? I'm thirsty.

I have some beers in the fridge. Can't wait to get home

 

[Eric Smit]

Basically I'm dastardly, long story short.

 

[Insanika]

I have beers, delicious marinara pasta and Fast 6.. That's my night lol.

And Eric- we wouldn't have you any other way

 

[Eric Smit]

I feel so accepted.

 

[ahtoxa]

I don't have any beers. I feel left out.

 

[$ub$onic]

Don't feel bad, I only have cheap crap.

 

[Insanika]

I have coors and bud. But I'm limited to one or two a night thanks to my meds.

 

[ahtoxa]

:barf: Coors and bud :shudder:

 

[Insanika]

Lol... Technically they weren't mine, but they are now

 

[Eric Smit]

I don't drink, so I'm kind of a party pooper.

 

[ahtoxa]

Actually, Eric, it isn't such a bad thing. People make it a negative, when it is a positive.

I drink too much - normally a couple beers a day on average. Some days one, some days three and some days none.

 

[Eric Smit]

I love when people say that, and it does make me feel better. Usually I just get made fun of, but I don't let it bother me.

 

[ahtoxa]

Purely from a health perspective, pretty much everyone that drinks, drinks too much. More than 6 beers a week is not all that great. It won't give you cirrocis, but there are other heath effects.

 

[Insanika]

I spent too much time drinking in the recent past. I've burnt myself out on drinking too much. It's nice to be back taking my med like I should so that I have that excuse even to say no when invited.

Also- Ahtoxa... you mentioned earlier about PVCs, I have them too but they are random and occasional. I am asymptomatic though, unless it's around the time I am retaining a buttload of fluid and my heart has to work harder for everything. Do you do anything for treatment?

 

[ahtoxa]

No, I don't really do anything for treatment. I have had mine for many years, but only recently they occurred as frequently as they did.

Doc still isn't concerned and says they are benign, although I'll be wearing the monitor for a few days so they can actually see them.

It figures that they stopped 3 days before my cardio appt whereas for 10 fays before they were ongoing

 

[Kuntryboy865]

I did all my drinking in my teens and 20's. Drinking doesnt appeal to me anymore.

 

[ahtoxa]

I notice that I rarely get drunk any more. Not because of growing tolerance, but because I rarely drink more than 3 beers.

 

[ahtoxa]

If any of you haven't read The Art of Racing In The Rain - do it. It isn't all about racing, but it does tie sportsmanship and perseverance, and tenacity in overcoming with human emotions, drama, life and racing.

All told from the view of a dog.

Sounds silly, but you won't regret it.

 

[Eric Smit]

I didn't even drink once when I was underage. I had my first drink at 21, and not on my birthday.

 

[ahtoxa]

I had my first drink when my age was expressed in a single digit. I was also living in Russia at the time, so no surprise there. Everyone drinks and age restrictions on sale of alcohol did not exist.

I drank champagne with a friend. His parents allowed it on his birthday.
