I treat it the way I do everything else – all things in moderation! I was a HUGE partier in college and the first couple years after. I drank almost daily and almost always to blacking out (and still graduated with top honors – a miracle I will never understand!). Now I drink much more rarely, and in much much much smaller quantities, but I never turn down a cocktail in social situations for health reasons. Like you said, it’s better for my mental health to let go of the health freak. 🙂

Hi Melissa! Love that all of your Hamptons visions have also been inspired by Revenge. 😉 And also… I am moving back to LA in July! I used to live in Marina Del Rey, had no idea that they filmed scenes there. I will be in Brentwood when I am back though, super excited to be back on the west coast. Oh, and you will LOVE the shirts… can’t wait to see some photos of you rockin’ them!

I really want to go sometime but it’s quite the hike from LA. (also it appears that they shoot some of Revenge in Marina Del Rey, which I visit often ha)
Also I LOVE the Is Vodka Vegan? shirts – nice modeling from you three 🙂 Just ordered one for myself!

Thanks so much, Allison! And so glad you agree. I am totally with you that you have to listen to your body first and foremost when it comes to anything alcohol or food related. I admire you for being able to listen to what your body needs and not worry about whether everyone else is drinking or not! I am definitely in that boat now, but a few years ago… I would have been pressured into it in a heartbeat! (And definitely was, all too frequently!)

Thanks for the tip!! I agree- binge drinking is not good for the body or the mind. You don’t have to worry about me, I figured this out long ago!! And I also agree that alcohol can ruin lives and families… I’ve seen it happen and it is terrible and so not worth it. I do not like alcohol enough to let it creep into my life that way!

Agreed!! I so feel ya on that. There are groups of people (like your ski instructing crew) who looove to drink when they are together. That’s kinda how my grad school program is! Amazing people, lots of alcohol. Not going to hold myself back, but also not going to compromise my views and feel like shit in the morning… so gotta find that balance!! So glad you agree!

I get that Geeg!! I think if I was TRULY listening to my body… I wouldn’t drink either. I am still figuring it all out. But WAY more power to you for sticking to that!! Can’t wait for our sober LA nights… I will be hitting you up ALL the time because the rest of my friends out there are wild animals (when it comes to alcohol!)

We would have been besties back then…and we can be besties now because we share the same view. Boom.

My stomach doesn’t do it. I have nothing against people who do drink, I just cannot for my stomach, brain, energy, liver, life, etc! AHA HA!
