I actually don't drink often. I usually just drink once or twice a week, consuming 3 or 4 small bottles each time. A cold San Miguel Pale Pilsen is a perfect company when you're into some introspection or whatever. Of course, I don't count those times when I'm with friends. With them, I usually drink more and with a stronger drink.
Dude, you still drink more often when you compare yourself to me although I would debate on it because when I drink, 5 to 6 bottles with other hard drinks include but it's an occasional thing I do so... I don't like drinking alone though, I feel like alcohol is better enjoyed with a company so I haven't done it yet.

I'm curious, just what is Bitcoin to you? If you love your drink and you're happy having it every once in a while, why would you avoid it for the rest of your life just to attempt having 1
BTC? What's 1
BTC, anyway? Why would you let go of those beautiful moments drinking your cold beer in the beach, for example, or at your rooftop during sunset, or when there's an occasion?
Bitcoin to me is just a means of investment, that's it. For context, a lot of my relatives died of liver diseases so let me tell you this, if for real I was given a chance to get my hands to 1 bitcoin in exchange for not touching a bottle of alcohol again, I would take it no matter what, you can still have fun with your friends even without alcohol, that shit is just a marketing ploy made by those alcohol conglomerates to sell more beers, gins, tequilas and whiskeys. Just like you can still have fun in a club without powdering your nose with nose candy(cocaine). After all, it's the people that you choose to hang out with that's important right?

This isn't entirely different with so many people being too hard on themselves, trying to avoid watching a movie, drinking with friends, going to a vacation, use their work leave, buying good food, and so on because they're saving for a house and lot, a car, farm for their old parents; in short, their future. What is life? Life is here and now. Your future may or may not come. Balance is the key.
Well, the way to live a life imho is that you do what you want to do surrounded by the people that you love, now you can't say that people who devote their life to work and never go out partying as someone that didn't live their life, maybe they don't like partying or being surrounded by many people, maybe they're introverted or they only have fun with their close friends who are away and they can't contact. Different strokes for different folks as the saying goes. Just because you don't live their lives doesn't mean that you can say that they're not living their best life.
