It certainly was an interesting week, one with much deliberation. I did a lot of research (health benefits of red wine, famous people who don’t drink, definition of teetotaler, etc); I debated the topic with a few close friends; and of course I thought long and hard about both sides of the question.
But ultimately I came up with a decision. The whole debate is recounted in the To Drink or Not to Drink article, but I’ll give you a summary: yes alcohol is now something that I may drink, but no I won’t be consuming it on a regular basis.
