I've always believed a glass of red wine a day, with supper, is more beneficial than damaging. Unfortunately over the years we started drinking too much. Never a problem with hangovers, of any other short term consequence. Once Caroline's liver is recovered and when we feel the time is right, we will return to a bottle over the weekend. At the moment neither of us feel any urge to drink, though I did have a bottle of alcohol free beet with supper yesterday.
One side effect is that my sense of smell is improving and I'm sleeping much more soundly.
I returned most of our wine to our local Majestic store: they took it all back and credited me, sad to lose a regular customer, but full of understanding and sympathy. The manager gave me a bottle of alcohol free red wine: it will be interesting to see if it is palatable. Part of me views alcohol free wine and beer rather like vegan sausages...but only a small part.
Once again, thanks to all for the support and encouragement.
