Folks, you really cannot even imagine one enjoying THE BEER, right? Its refreshing bitterness and the aroma hops in it and the beautiful refracting light in the pint? If people drink to get trashed and forget about life issues, that's one thing. But if other people drink that one beer because they enjoy it, and are not getting even a tinge from it (as probably nobody with a healthy liver should), then in which category should they belong? Do I drink regularly? Yes I do. Do I ever get drunk, or even dizzy? Never, thank you. Of course one can still say alcohol is unhealthy, as some newer studies suggest, but I still don't buy the drunkness argument (and I drink just as happily an alcohol-free beer but there are like only 2 worth sampling). That's why I don't understand your point "it was easier dropping down to effectively zero" - easier for what/who? Did you get nausea from one glass? I would definitely visit a doctor if that happened to me, because it looks like giving up alcohol was just getting rid of the side effects of something there.

The "for who" was "for me". The "for what" is what I said: any amount leaves me a bit groggy or sleepy afterwards. My theory is that because I rarely drink, it's a mild system shock each time I do. Maybe that's not it, and my body simply doesn't handle alcohol. At any rate, the tradeoff of that great wine with my steak making me want to take a nap the next two hours, I decided it wasn't worth it.
