Dear Regina: As a recovering alcoholic now 20 mos., I would have much appreciated your article back in my drinking days, however, I stopped due to a health affliction brought on from 30 yrs of moderate drinking as well as the loss of my dear hubby from the same cause.
Please beware, that all liquor contains the ability to deal out many permanent severe health afflictions from ours, Grand-Mal Seizures, to complete deafness, blindness, rotted liver & good old heart attacks, all having no cure what-so-ever !
So, please be careful !
God Bless !!
