I used to LOVE red wine but then in 2015 I gave up alcohol because my liver scores weren’t very good and I wasn’t well. I have a weak liver and my Dad died of cirrhosis. I didn’t want to follow in his footsteps. It was incredibly hard giving up drinking. Harder than stopping smoking because once I’d done that it was done, whereas there is always a social pressure to drink. That said, I’ve managed it for ten years now and I’m so proud of myself.

So now my favourite drink is tea. Early Grey tea. And I don’t miss drinking at all.
