Days 46-50

Day Forty-Six
No Drink Day
Dropped below my target average of 1.92 Drinks per day!!
It's the first time I've been under since Day Eighteen.

Day Forty-Seven
No Drink Day

Day Forty-Eight
Drink #88 @ Doc's Lab: Whiskey Soda
First time at Doc's after hearing about it often.
Got to see friend host a good stand-up show.

This may be the first Drink I wish I'd skipped since I started the 700 Drinks project.  I thought It'd help me enjoy the show experience more, but It didn't kick in until I had to leave to tech a show in the Mission.  It seemed I'd wasted a Drink that I might want back at the end of the year.  I might have a different take on it if I'd had It earlier... or a second One.

Napped for two hours after dinner.
