Sorry p00p, I guess I flunk.
yes - 2 (#8 + #10)
no - 10
I have two areas to consider for each queation.... what I did during my 20's and early 30's, and what I do now. My answers hold true for both though....
I'm just not one to be addictive about much. I've never liked the idea of "needing" something constantly, like smoking or gambling or drinking. I like to drink, yes..... I've always liked having some secret drinks hidden in a cooler at the beach.... nothing like a cold one on the beach on a hot day, and being able to invite a few babes to come join in. Or a barbecue.... how can anyone have a barbecue and not have a beer? I mean really. It's just something I like, but if it's not there I won't go mental and start shaking and sweating like some people do.
When it came to work, well work was work. I worked at a hospital for 15 years looking after patients, there was no room for booze. I did know some though, nurses, health care aids etc that drank during their breaks, always got drunk after work etc. I never understood those types. If you start obsessing about anything like booze or gambling or drugs etc, you're going to regret it every time. I would rather enjoy something in moderation than obsessing about it. Don't obsess... enjoy.
