Reply to "Drinking alcohol; not a great idea so far"

Hey,

I haven't been around much lately, but this is a surgery anniversary week for me, so I was motivated to pop in and see if I could help with anything.

Alcohol has been the most major lifestyle change for me.  I'm in the alcoholic beverage industry, but my consumption is drastically lower in the 2.5 years since takedown than it was prior to the surgery.

It isn't so much a bathroom issue as a "feel like crap" issue; the dehydrating effects of alcohol are super magnified for me, for some reason, so I try to do two glasses of water for every one alcohol drink, but still finding hangovers magnified all out of proportion.

My simple solution is to pick my spots and my drink; if I REALLY want something, I have it, but I don't just grab some booze because everyone is doing it, and I only drink things that are high in quality and that I genuinely enjoy.

I also have, for whatever reason, significantly fewer issues with agave based spirits than any others, but I've changed from a daily drinker to maybe a couple of times per month, on average.  Honestly, I feel better for it.
