PF> It's my birthday, my family and I took a trip to Napa, California's first
PF> big wine region. Did some shopping, stayed at a great thai-flavored B&B,
PF> had dinner at a wonderful restaurant, an amazing breakfast on the grounds
PF> of the B&B and took the scenic route home.

Happy birthday!  That sounds like a good weekend.

PF> One problem with being in wine country - I stopped drinking a couple of
PF> months ago. Weird, I started journalling what I'm eating and just stopped
PF> drinking when I started factoring in the calories.

PF> I did some back-of-the-beermat math and figured the calories I'd drunk in
PF> my adult life equalled close to 500 pounds worth of fat.

PF> It was refreshing driving through wine country sober when I know everyone
PF> else on the road's had a few.

I've never drank alcohol much.  Even at my age, I'm still unsure of how much (or little) I could drink and still drive safely, so I always err on the side of caution and don't drink if I'll be driving later.
