But then again, I donīt drink at my full time day job (We may have one unit at work) or at home any more. It just getīs irritating, when you have to get up at 3 in the night to feed the baby. So for the next years time itīs good economy with my time and my mind to stay off any kind of downer. I donīt need it because most weeks Iīm buzy for 60 hrs + between music and my day job. I swear I can feel it in the morning even if Iīīve had only 4 units of alco the night before. And the things it does to my mind when playing is not positive in any way. I donīt get more overbearing, sooner I get more easily irritated with flaws and imperfection.
One glass of wine with a meal (we always get fed before the gigs) seems to be nice enough tho.
I think it has something to do with our schedule. We play a lot now, itīs not just a hobby anymore, itīs a job. If itīs only twice a month then itīs a recreational thing. Then It might make sense to have some brews along with the experience. Or maybe not. Alcohol seems to have a way of gradually creeping up on me. I drink what i have and then I donīt drink for a long time. I never have the urge to drink the next day either. Iīthink I can put it in the bad habits category, thus it needs to be avoided, if it does not give me any pleasure.
