I understood having to do with liver kidney stomach and other parts but the mouth?...I understood smoking. Just seems all the "fun" stuff is bad. I never used to drink much either. Usually weddings, christmas new years and birthdays. So I rather doubt I will. This is probably nothing new to anybody here but it would be nice for a night or even a few hours of no pain and let loose. Seems to do that naturally has been harder than I anticipated. We still have fun but to let guards down seems to btake a few. Funny my friend and I used to go to bars and drink coffee. At the end of the night everyone thought we were as drunk as they were cause we fit in so well. We just had to let everyone else catch up to us on the crazy side... We were that naturally...So whether I will or wont have a drink I think I will go with the flow and how I feel. Right now it is a big fat Maybe lol
