I keep reading about how drinking is now so passe and how life is better without alcohol. This below is from a Guardian article on a new book around the joy of being sober. Whilst I understand that some people shouldn’t and can’t drink healthily surely most people’s alcohol experience is something more moderate. Alcohol is fun and enjoyable when not abused is it not? I don’t spend all day in bed with a hangover or ever make an idiot of myself and I love a few glass of wine
sober life offers you the whole rainbow: rather than spending all day sleeping off your hangover, you can leap out of bed at seven and go for a 10-mile run, join your friends for a jolly brunch, before spending the afternoon “deep diving into Aladdin’s Cave vintage shops for bargains”. You can still date, and dance and have sex. You can go to parties and weddings. You can do anything a drunk person can do – with the added bonus that you are unlikely to make an idiot of yourself
