But, some people to do perform great with alcohol, but some do not. So, it just prove to show that every people have their own opinion on it.

We say "vacation" here in the states, but I much prefer "on holiday"--it just sounds so cool. <br /><br />Yeah, I wouldn't worry so much what others are doing. Can't change 'em anyway.

Looked like just a sip to me! I quickly put that article away and continued on my merry way. Now I have no desire to have even that small sip. Love sobriety!

But...You raise a very interesting point my friend. But here in the U.S. Prohibition was a colassal failure and I would imagine it would be again if alcohol were outlawed. We have enough trouble with illegal drugs and the crime it generates, if we add alcohol to the mix I'm afraid things would REALLY get out of control! (More so than they are with all the boozers.)<br /><br />Have fun on vacay! I cook with alcohol all the time. The taste wasn't why I drank so to flavor my food with it is just fine. The reason I drank is cooked off in the process. (In case you haven't noticed I'm not very hard core about AA principles.)<br /><br />SherrySoberMomWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845259535764391849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-78088002175368205462013-07-13T01:58:34.180+12:002013-07-13T01:58:34.180+12:00Have a good time on vacay!

I have friends that post almost daily about drinking on fb alone..always in a ha ha way. My brain screams "be careful!", but I keep it to myself as to not be a wet blanket. Even my Zumba instructor would mention drinking wine most nights before she got pregnant. How many people REALLY drink 4-5 oz of wine and call it good? Not many IMO.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598872022680734297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-78386535959991759392013-07-13T01:01:03.647+12:002013-07-13T01:01:03.647+12:00There are so many articles and studies out there a...There are so many articles and studies out there about alcohol use and abuse and they are all pretty much in the same light of things. Yup, we tend to overmedicate ourselves, as a whole. If its not booze, it's prescription pills (which I read today kills more people than heroin and cocaine every year), or whatever. It's almost a society norm to be numbing in some way.<br /><br />But like you said, I can't crusade (not the crusading type - but they are out there and bless them!) about the "evils" of booze. I can only worry about and work on my own recovery. That's about it. I do help others, but that is their journey. <br /><br />A bottle a day for me was a 1.5L bottle, and then that got to two a day. Then to vodka. Then 1.5L of vodka, etc. I know people who polish of a bottle of wine a day and think nothing of it. I certainly didn't. I don't think they are alcoholics, but they drink more than others, but they don't seem to suffer the same way I did. Who knows...I am not their counselor. <br /><br />Sobering stuff (no pun intended).<br /><br />And have a wonderful holiday! As for the alcohol burning off:<br /><br />http://homecooking.about.com/library/archive/blalcohol12.htm<br /><br />I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about the percentages - alcohol isn't a major component of most items (even coq au vin has stock, etc), and it's not like we'd be chugging litres of mussels liquid to get at the 35% of 5% alcohol left from 1/4 cup of white wine...lol. BUT for some people they are very sensitive to it, and even the thought of putting something into them that has alcohol, even if they don't taste it, can be a "trigger". So to each their own. I don't mind. I used to be very sensitive to putting anything with booze in my mouth (mouthwash, etc) but those days are past. As long as it's not a shot of something straight up to an uncooked desert / cold appetizer, etc. then I am ok. To each their own.<br /><br />Have a wonderful trip!<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
