LeDomduVin: This January... Keep it dry!

This January... Keep it dry! 

I find it very hypocritical to stop drinking for a whole month if it is to binge the rest of the year. For what? To clear your conscience? Give me a break! 

Either you stop drinking for good, or you just try to discipline and moderate yourself and drink throughout the year, moderately and responsibly. That's it! No hypocritical excuses. 

It is like at my daughter's school when they cut the air-conditioning for 1 day to supposedly help global warming. That's bullshit! Don't keep it on all year long. Only use it when necessary. Open the windows instead. Let the natural air in. That will definitely help! 

I understand that drinking can be a major issue with devastating consequences for some people who abuse it by drinking in excess (health problems, domestic violence, job issues, social issues, etc...). 

Yet, like with everything else, it is within the excess that the problem lies. If you drink moderately and responsibly, there is no real issue. 

Even most health problems due to alcohol occur because of excess mingling with antecedent health issues or because of drugs or medication consumption combined with alcohol. 

I respect those who want to do "Dry January." It is their choice, and I'm not judging, but personally, I won't. 

This January, like all January for the past 33 years of my career as a Sommelier and Wine Buyer, I will continue to buy, open, prepare, serve, and drink wine (and other alcoholic beverages), as it is my job, my passion, and my life. 

Cheers! Santé!
