I keep thinking back on how much I enjoyed the beer and wine buzz on a warm summer night. Then I remember how much it used to piss off my wife and how I couldn't just get a mild buzz, but had to drink until I slurred my words and would fall asleep in front of the tv. Much better to have my wife not hate me, that's for sure.
