I echo all that has been mentioned already. Very good points and perspectives.
I would like to weigh in on the alcohol discussion. As it is timely. I am having lunch with 3 girlfriends today. We’re all 50 something. We all used to enjoy our wine, beer , cocktails, etc. Now 3 of the 4 of us cannot drink due to medical issues (post transplant, diabetes and liver issue). My one friend has been trying several non-alcoholic wines and today is bringing several for us to sample. She’s also doing weight watchers so they are primarily low in sugar too. We’re excited to try these new beverages and looking forward to being able to have something in our hand at social events, besides water, tea or pop. There is a big movement in the non alcoholic beverage space for various reasons, but mostly medical. With the internet it is easy to research and find options. Good luck!
