Great points, Michele -- I'll mention two -- cost! -- there's no doubt there's a pile of money to be saved from not drinking -- Especially if you're the type who only drinks out! Smell -- I've noticed regular alcohol consumers, particularly women, have some kind of stinky alcohol thing going on, probably men too, but they don't tend to grope you -- maybe women can answer that one 'cuz I'm sure they grope women! -- lol
