3/ My Life in Alcohol Consumption, Part III

Thirties: I gave birth to my first child at age 30, and alcohol lost all its appeal. It wasn't a physical thing; drinking just didn't fit into my life as a mother. The cocktail hours were retired and forgotten. My husband tried making wine a couple of times, but that result had no appeal whatsoever.

    Adorable pictures. Did you ever resume your life in alcohol consumption?

    I've certainly been through stages (though quite brief, admittedly) when alcohol loses its appeal.

    Just so you all know, this particular serial is in seven parts.

    I went through a similar stage, much to the dismay of my husband.

    I enjoy a drink, but I'm pretty sure I lack the gene that causes one to be addicted to alcohol, and have gone through many dry periods without really missing it.

    Most of my friends realize that especially when raising children, someone needs to be sober in case of emergencies.
