That is kind of what I meant by doing it right. I agree that periods in between can get boring fast. There has to be something keeping you entertained.
I have always wanted the ability to go back in time to re-live any day. Anything I did would have no impact on current timeline, so I could re-live any day however I wanted.
I only drink on the rare occasion. I do prefer a clear mind and don't need anything to "get-by". But don't mind an occasional drink at a party or something.
