Last night I drank for the first time in 33 days. I decided to start slowly and had a pre-dinner bottle of Grolsch. Then another. Then Mrs BV and her dad started raving about a bottle of Spanish garnacha they were drinking so I had to have a couple small glasses of that. In all, it was fun but too much too soon.

I'm saving my jumbo bottle of imperial stout for Sunday night. Tonight will be dry.
