1. Cannibis >> alcohol. I'm around 50 years old give or take a couple, and my wife is north of 50. When the kids aren't here, we have sex between five to seven nights a week, and it's glorious sex too. Best of my life, and it's not even close. Cannibis makes that happen. Trick is to not use at any other time.
2. I haven't had a drink of alcohol in a quarter-century. Not because I had a drinking problem per se, but rather my body just stopped tolerating it. I always had some problems tolerating it, I guess, but it got the point where a single beer or glass of wine could make me throw up for hours. I wasn't drunk. My stomach just revolted.
Unfortunately, I'm not a lot of help on this thread (except for point 1). I hate the taste of beer and I don't like coffee either. I pretty much go with diet soda -- with caffeine during the day, caff-free at night. I'm pretty happy with that, although I'm increasingly irked at the soda companies' flavor stinginess.
In the first decade of this century, I enjoyed Vanilla Diet Pepsi. If not Vanilla, Wild Cherry. There was also a short-lived flavor set called "Jazz" that featured a Cherry Vanilla flavor and a Caramel Cream one too. Well, Jazz disappeared after a year or two. Vanilla was phased out a decade ago. So I've been on Wild Cherry . . . . and now that's been discontinued in the 2 liter size. I mean, really? Usually the story of Big Food is that choices increase over time. Companies are constantly putting out new products. You can buy Cinnamon Toast Crunch everything now, not just cereal. There's Raisin Bran, and Raisin Bran Crunch, and a yogurt-covered raisin Raisin Bran. But Diet Pepsi is . . . only Diet Pepsi.
I guess they have Pepsi Zero but that shit gives me a headache for some reason and also it has way more caffeine.
