I enjoy good beer. I like to try different ones. Most times with food, almost to the point that I'll make a trip to the store to find a matching beer if my wife says she's cooking something particular. I don't keep much beer on-hand because I'll drink it all as long as I have it....not getting plastered, just when I have the free time as long as I've got it I'm going to enjoy it. Nothing wrong with that but most of the time I'm training 6 days a week in the early morning (lifting 3, boxing/cardio 3) and I notice the dehydration when I'm training. After a couple days of drinking as little as 3 or 4 in the evening with a meal or while working around the house it's really noticeable in my training the next morning....that's the biggest reason I limit it.
A few times a year I'll really cut loose but like Hank said, "the hangovers hurt more than they used to". I have to plan ahead for those times now to make sure I've got the next day clear on my calendar......
