Amen to that 'R'!
I guess that's why my wife doesn't give me too much grief when I'm down in the war room for an extended tour. She said more or less the same thing "I'd rather have you do that, than wasting it on liquor" 
And I'd say to that (under my breath) "Why not enjoy a good reference book over a pint 'o Guiness".
So, needless to say I don't drink. But I did learn to roast my own coffee...

If you won, it was your own bravery and skill; if you lost, it was because you had met a better man
