If there wasn't a reason or an excuse to drink, I would make one. Routines are good for me, they put me set in my ways. So when life does throw me a curve ball I able to stand firm in the batter's box and take a swing instead of bailing and glowering ineffectively at the pitcher. My wife has been out of the country, I've had two uncles die this week, and I've been offered a job that would require me to make some hard decisions. All good reasons to drink, yet despite the "reasons" I am set in my ways and life has gone on with little upheaval. I'll mourn the uncles, miss the wife, and possibly take the job... but you will not see me take a drink, so count me among the winners today.
