If drinking leaves you in a mental fog I would suggest it's not the fact that you're drinking daily but rather the quantity you're drinking. I've been almost teetotal for a few years for no deliberate reason, but before that a drink a day certainly did not create a mental fog.

This is not the advice the OP is looking for and is possibly dangerous advice

[archsurface]

You're being melodramatic; suggesting people cycle in a city is dangerous. Drinking is a perfectly normal social practice in which countless responsible adults partake. As far as purpose goes, I see no reason to think we have purpose any more than a plant, an amoeba, or a monkey - you are free to simply enjoy life, and free to make it enjoyable for others.

This is specifically bad advice for the OP.

More melodrama.

Great tip for anyone who aspires to be a functional alcoholic.

An absurd exaggeration. Does a hot toddy each night make one a functional alcoholic? Of course not.

I can't have just one. That was the whole issue.

You didn't write that.
