I can't drink beer anymore, except for like a one-off, because I suffer from gout, and because the doctors aren't kidding when they tell me that drinking beer can bring on an acute attack. Ouch!

If I'm very careful, I can still enjoy one, and I sure did the other night when I had the most amazingly refreshing summer shandy. (Wheat beer mixed with lemonade.)

And you know, I might have appreciated it even more because I rarely drink it?

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. And I've learned that can apply to treats that I should not consume except in strict moderation.

I'm sitting out on a lawn chair getting some sun right now, I'll have a lemonade later.

Hold the beer! Lol
