My beverages have been limited for many years. I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and one or two Diet Cokes in the afternoon. The rest of the time I drink sugar-free lemonade or herbal tea, depending on how warm or cold it is. I’m not much of an alcohol drinker but I do enjoy a glass of wine or a beer occasionally. On special occasions I may drink a margarita or a vodka tonic. Alcohol frequently gives me migraines so if I want to drink I have migraine medicine handy to take at the first sign of trouble, but that’s not always totally effective. I’m actually somewhat glad for this because it naturally limits my alcohol use. I imagine that I could easily drink excessively if not controlled by the prospect of a terrible headache. During Covid, I’ve experienced (like most everyone else) feelings of isolation, stress and depression. The thought of alcohol has been very tempting, and it often crosses my mind around 5:00. Don’t ask me why that time, but there it is. To keep from giving in, I have been drinking plain diet tonic water over ice, typically with a twist of lime. It tastes almost exactly like a vodka tonic, so it has become my alcohol substitute. Anyway, I really like the taste, which to me is almost like grapefruit juice. Cheers! --Terese
