Scary thought, and a decision

Over the holidays, I realized that any evening I didn't drink alcohol I actually felt deprived. This scared me -- there's a history of alcoholism in my family, and I really don't want to go there. As a result, say hello to the Club Soda Queen of Northern California. I decided that alcohol would be limited to special treat status, for special occasions (this is a tough one for a football fanatic like myself, but I decided that the Super Bowl does NOT count as one of the special occasions).

I know club soda has sodium, but it has less than most diet sodas, and it's a lot healthier and cheaper than either soda or alcohol (plus, some of my co-workers steal other peoples' sodas from the refrigerator, but they won't touch my club soda!). Also, it's one way to get my water (for reasons I've never figured, carbonated water satisfies my thirst much better than plain).

I guess I just have a bubbly personality!
