I'm a fan of imbibing the occasional spirit. I've had many fun adventures accompanied by a belly full of various tasty elixirs. But now that I've turned 40... and the hang overs aren't nearly as easy to process as they were in the past... I've been considering not just cutting back (I've pretty much already done that) but more eliminating the beverage entirely... or at least relegate it to all but the very specialist of occasions (i.e. champagne toasts only).
To that end, I just looked up the alcohol consumption habits of a couple guys I think of as exemplary physically. First being Jaco Willink.
And the second being David Goggins who also doesn't drink. It seems to me that if these two most manliest of manly men don't drink, maybe there's something to this no drinking thing.
