These days, I am perfectly content with water, but I haven't always been so placid. During my youthful college days I was a member of a group called the "Roma Ramblers," Ramblers after the U of Arizona hiking club, and Roma after the bottle of Zinfandel we drank after reaching the summit, whereupon we signed the label and placed the empty bottle on the summit cairn, descending more or less tipsy.
Later on, becoming heavily involved in search and rescue, I drastically curtailed my boozing, dealing with drinking to excess as the leading cause of accidents and fatalities in our area (southern Arizona).
Today I am basically a teetotaler and content. I know that a shot or two at the end of the day is quite different from my youthful exploits and actually may be healthy. Just be careful around steep terrain.....
