In discussion with a Dutch friend, we discussed which nation drank the most. She had been on holiday in the UK and had been amazed how much the young drink. We are often amazed how much the more elderly drink, and we should probably be included in that. A glass of wine every evening is for me, no more. But I do look forward to 6 pm when I can pour it. Malc is more a three glass man and we are both more restrained than when we arrived in France? Then the joys of wine tasting and buying cheap wine in bidons caught us by surprise and without putting a hold on our drinking we could both be happy drunks now... or dead. Such a shame that one of life's little pleasures has to be taken with moderation but moderation it must be. How are you with moderation?
“One should always be drunk. That’s all that matters…But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.”
― Charles Baudelaire, circa 1850s
