Alcohol

Last night I went out with a couple of friends. I had three beers while one of my friends had twice as many. He also told me that he drinks 40 beers on an average weekend. I am deeply saddened when I see people's lives torn apart by drugs and alcohol.

My mental faculties have been a bit slow as of late. I cannot remember simple things and my thought process has been slow and muddled. I often wonder if I will experience a decline in my cognitive abilities that will prevent me from working till retirement as an IT consultant. I have already decided that I will do light tractor work after I retire but I am hoping to see a steady increase in my income as I build my pre-retirement business.
