Alcohol Vs. Age

So here is my next dilemma, alcohol vs. age. What is the dilemma you might ask? Like myself you may be thinking that the only dilemma based on alcohol you have come against up to now is exactly what to drink and how much. And there in stands the issue, I don’t consider this comment a quandary. Up to now I don’t consider that alcohol is a "problem" for me. As a matter of fact I find that it is an excellent solution for a lot of ” problems" that I have come up against(Oh shit, there I go again, that didn’t sound good). However, the difficulty is the fact that I haven’t changed my alcohol/drinking attitude since my early twenties. That is to say that I often will equate drinking to partying which equals, well quite frankly, headaches. And headaches are no fun anymore. Not that I am suggesting they were ever fun but it is taking a longer time to get rid of the headaches and they come with other side effects like puffy glazed eyes, sleep deprivation, bad hair (I can’t be bothered on those days) and just general yuck feelings. Oh, I know this is “normal” but I suppose I can’t really handle it anymore. I actually become incapacitated to the point where it affects my day. Oh god, isn’t that sign one in the AA “How you know you’re an alcoholic” manual. Anyway, I digress. What I am saying it is really not the drinking behavior at all that needs to change, but the unfortunate derailing of the 39ish/40 year olds body tolerance of abuse. Ya, that is it for sure. So I think that the solution must be in the health and wellbeing of your physical state not alcohol itself. Right!!!! There must be some sort of organic, herbal, yogic type thing that could help with my tolerance level so that I don’t have to adjust this aspect of my life. OK! Any recommendations send them my way. Ahhhh see it’s not age vs. alcohol as much as age vs. delusion….. I mean accommodating your changing body.

That all folks. (Going up to party at the cottage with my herbal pills.)
