An experiment

I have learned three things in the last couple of weeks:

1. If I don't buy alcohol, my recycling bin only ends up about 1/5 as full as it normally does.

2. Midwinter is the wrong time to be curtailing alcohol consumption. It adds to the gloom of the season.

3. I am now perfectly happy ordering straight whisky, no ice in a bar. One step closer to being a boozy old expatriate; 1920s Paris here I come.
