Indeed, Steve... overindulgence is always an issue. Myself, I have a sweet tooth, and eat far too many cookies (biscuits?) when they are available. But I tolerate sweets pretty well and don't gain weight... and I drink good beer, some wine, single malt scotch, good liqueurs, the occasional cider... and never abuse them. One.. I can't afford to overdo, and two, I don't LIKE being drunk. I don't think I have been over the legal limit since I was about 30.. and that was one night of warm wine on a porch.

When I first moved to Wash DC for the folk music, there were ashtrays at public singarounds and in pubs, and we used to spend inordinate amounts of time sweeping up discarded butts in grocery stores I worked in..... now there are NONE. It is an amazing change in the life of a guy who grew up in a smoke-filled world.
