Point taken. I view this piece as more a reminder that it can often be helpful to take a time-out from endeavors such as this. In my field of oncology, we believe there is no safe dose of alcohol. I worry particularly for those who consume more than 1 standard drink daily, or more than 3 at any given setting. I am always surprised at the number of folks in affluent areas such as Seattle that are above the former. Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to read the piece. Hope you are having a joy-filled weekend.
