Alcohol and my heart medication are not compatible. I went to water, club soda with a chunk of lime, and an occasional root beer. After 7 years on the wagon, I cannot say that I miss beer at all. When I am totally out of sorts or not feeling good, I still get the urge for that 2 fingers of Jack and a couple of tablespoons of honey under a mug of steaming hot coffee. I suck it up and move on.
