Hah, don't you worry, I'm not missing out. My compatriots will attest to the fact that I have drunk enough for three lifetimes, the gin industry is probably still reeling from the impact of me going dry. Queenie stopped a couple months before I did and I found out it was not that great drinking alone. After about a month of not having two martinis every night my mind started getting a whole lot more sharp. One thing led to another - lost 20 lbs., exercise started to be pleasant, business picked up a lot, lots of stuff started to get fixed around the house, new hobbies appeared, old ones became interesting again and so on.
I certainly miss the ritual, and if I could hold myself to one cocktail once or twice a week it would be grand, but self medicating my reconstructed ankle nine years ago made me appreciate the pain killing benefit of gin a little too much and that second martini is just too easy to knock down. Don't assume from this that I am completely without drug habits. If you ask me to quit coffee or chocolate you had better be prepared to defend yourself.
