Does it take less to get "there" ? When we are getting lit up people say Come on Stevo, let's get really out there. I tell them no, I am good for now. It's cheaper. Beer and stuff costs a lot nowadays.

13. Damn- slow down!
Even in my prime I couldn't drink more than 8 or ten without needing to stop. I had a friend that drank like that- a case wasn't out of the question. After he got out of rehab he really turned his life around.

5. Heh, it's called "maturity." You drink less because you're more
interested in sober stuff, like politics.

9. Very true.
You can only crawl around on the ground so many times. Politics is very important as you get older.

11. I find that my alcohol consumption is directly proportional
to my personal happiness/contentment. I have been in a fantastic relationship for the last 3 years and have severely diminished beer intake without any conscious effort. Just don't feel the need. Thank you Katie Darlin'.
