I’m right there with ya. When we could, my wife would go out to a nice restaurant for date night and try a new drink. Do we need to have a drink at dinner? No, but it’s part of the fun for us. Same for a sporting event, family party, etc.
no one has to get out of control, but I enjoy the right to have a drink. Not being able to have a beer at a football game would be a bummer.
