oh Rusty is that why you are a Puritan tea totaler? If I ever need help you will be the first line of call. As it stands I enjoy nothing more than a beer with my food to supplement my diet. You see I am a vegan and need the vitamin B12 from the yeast and also calcium which is added to the water profile when brewing. As the beer is home brewd and u ...[text shortened]... rry old bean its very low in alcohol a British beer averages around 4% ABV, some are even lower.
I too need B12 also, which is given to me once a month, I get a needle, or could have taken one pill a day. I decided I'd just as soon have the needle once a month. I also take a Calcium pill which looks after my low calcium.
You see no beer needed, that is just an excuse, which is another sign of being an alcoholic. I use to have more excuses than you could think of for drinking. I held down a job, actually I was the boss. So I figured I am working. I am just having a sociable drink after work.
Everyone around me saw it. I just didn't. Perhaps you see now what I mean about the lashing out??? Or perhaps you don't. Because if you figure there is no problem, then there isn't one, but that is only in your own mind. When I said talk about this, I meant in P.M., but if you'd rather discusss it in open forum, I'm good with that also.
Kind Regards,
