I started drinking lots of beer when I was young, but when I noticed I was growing a beer belly before the age of twenty I decided it was time for moderation. Stopped drinking altogether for nine months until it went away. I've had my moments since then, but not regularly. I still have a few beers or ciders when I'm out watching bands but am careful not to overdo it as my recording/videoing is more important. If I can't get a beer I like, and cider isn't available I'll happily sip on a whisky, preferably without water or ice.
