His imagined dig from me was my comment that doing these posts "keeps me out of the bars".

That comment was directed at me and no one here. It would be foolish for me to comment on anyone's drinking habits other than my own, because I do not know anyone here.

However I do know myself very well.

And the truth is I could have a drinking problem so I watch myself very carefully to make a point to stay away from places where I have easy unlimited access to booze in it's many tasty forms.

I have friends who have wrecked their family by drinking. They lost their wife and kids because of drinking. More than one lost their jobs because of drinking. I have a friend who drove for a living (Sales) who lost his license and a couple of weeks later, his job because of drinking. I have a friend who has been in rehab three times and still goes drinking every night. In his mind, he controls it and has no problem.

Forget the supposed dig with my bar comment because it only applies to me. For me, alcohol is a potent drug. It is a good thing and a bad thing, like a lot of other things I do and suffer from.

My name is MD and for me, the very best thing is to stay away from bars.

Oh, I missed that. I was only looking at the OP and scratching my head as to what he was talking about.

Yes it is. Fortunate I was raised in a culture where it's is widely used and common place. Was taught at a young age how to be a responsible drunk.

Just continue doing what you do, MD, and ignore the trolls. I speak for myself, even though I think I can speak for others in this instance, in saying that I appreciate what you bring to this board each day. Keep it up.
