No More Drinking.

Very well, it has come to this.

I am a level 1 Cicerone. That's a Beer Expert if you must know.
I am studying to be a certified Beer Judge.
I work at a Liquor store, where I know more about beer than the rest of the employees.

I have been drinking for over ten years. I have tried more beers than anyone else I know. I made it a goal in life to try and drink a beer from every country that produces a beer.

I know beer. I know wine. Just today I was asked a question about wine, and won a free Wine Tasting Tour.

I know beer. I know wine. I know Scotch. I know Irish Whiskey. I know Tequila. I have worked as an expert for all of these.

With the exception of New Years' Eve, I shall no longer drink until I have lost my beer gut and gotten myself back into shape.

My dear Friend is in a similar boat. She works in a Wine Store, and she drinks as often as I do, i.e. daily. She needs to cut back, I need to cut back, we both need to get our respective arses back into shape.

So this is a joint venture. No more Drinking.

And we're not waiting until any New Year's bullshit. No Resolutions. New Years' Resolutions FAIL.

We do not.
