This is mainly for health reasons. I don’t want to be pickling my liver. And it is easier to get fit and lose weight when not drinking alcohol.

I hate the out-of-control feeling when really drunk and I certainly hate the hangover the next day (although I tend not to have hangovers as often these days which could be a worrying sign that my body is getting used to the alcohol intake!).

So I have decided to start keeping my alcohol intake to within the healthy limits for a woman and to avoid binge drinking.
