I've never been much of a drinker. I guess I'm lucky that I've never had an addictive personality, because God knows I had enough pain, misery and trauma in my life as a child to warrant alchohol and/or drug abuse. But I think being an artist--someone who feels like you have to endure the pain so you can create from it--has helped me stay away from most of that stuff.

Congrats again!

Dude the Aussies here drink alcohol like water!

How big a role does alcohol play in working against you in your workout routine?
