if only every day could be like this.

by myself

listening to good music

drinking a beer (or two, or three...)

I'm ok with that.

sounds like a wonderful day! Except the beer part, I don't like beer. :-)

I love beer. My favorite alcoholic beverage -- yes, over wine and liquor (except there's a soft spot in my heart for gin)

i just found out that alcohol cannot be burned as energy in your body; it can only be stored as fat and it's like 7Cal/gram.

takes some of the joy out of a beer or two or three....

yeah but the fats that acetate break down mostly are dissolved quickly and only affect the liver (they are what cause cirrhoses)

alcohol mostly breaks down into sugar, which is still usually converted into fat but is still able to be burned by the body.
