I use a straw. In all seriousness, I am careful not to over indulge or drink if i have a cold. One time ended up in hospital after having one too many, and another time drinking with friends when all ready coming down with something and it made it much worse the following day. Am concious not to drink to relieve depression. Other than that, I enjoy a good strong drink now and then...and right now lol.

I never had trouble drinking and always at news a straw. I was a beer drinker and the biggest problem I had was having to pee constantly and the older I got the worst affected me so I don't drink anymore LOL but I was younger I drank a lot because I also started getting served alcohol when I was about 15!
