It can also be super delicious. So far this year I’ve had something like ten beers, a couple glasses of wine, and one or two cocktails and I thoroughly enjoyed each. Made the meal I had them with better. I think if I totally gave alcohol up, I would lose more than I would gain.

Aside from the obvious drinks, alcohol can be a great addition to food because lots of very tasty compounds are dissolved by alcohol. It’s why deglazing a pan with some red wine is the start of many great sauces.
