I didn't grow up with alcohol, and I knew nothing about wine later in life. But I learned! Shame about that! What a lot of misspent money!

So these days I have the odd glass, but I certainly don't need it.

I'd never drink alone, and don't do cocktails or spirits, but the odd glass is fine.

As for using it as a social crutch I don't need it.

Kudos to you, Diana. You ave carved our a wonderful lifestyle for yourself. :)
