“I am never drinking that rubbish again!”

Fifty to 50 #2: Drink a Beer

It’s been a slow start, but I’ve finally got to item number two on the list. I cannot say that it was worth the wait.

I have never been a drinker. When I was in my teens, I was a track and field athlete with (unrealistic) dreams of becoming an Olympic champion and, therefore, never started drinking alcohol as I believed it would ruin my chances of winning gold! By the time I’d stopped competing, I’d seen people with whom I had grown up get into all sorts of alcohol-fuelled trouble and that just didn’t appeal to me. So I never started drinking.

Until now.
