Hey, I'm still young and dumb - just in different ways 
I don't get the typical headache/nausea hangovers all that much. They end up being somewhat dissociative, hard to explain.
Moderation is super difficult for me if I'm at home, one will turn in to 3 or 4 at a minimum.
Another benefit, I've lost about 15 pounds without adjusting anything aside from not drinking

On the weight front -
Yeah, in terms of weight loss, I can totally see the benefit; not only are you cutting out the calories in the alcohol, but people tend to be less inhibited when tipsy, and that certainly includes indiscriminate eating.

We were two glass of wine on weeknights, Martinis on Friday, and maybe split a bottle of wine on Saturday people until about two years ago when I began to taper and LSS quit to lose weight. For the last year, it's been about one drink a week and, yes, we feel a lot better.

Found out last night that a bus driver in our district tested positive, as of last night, there were 35 kids in 5 out of the 6 schools that needed to quarantine with contact tracing still ongoing.
Kids moved to full remote this week, luckily everyone will be out of school for 2 weeks and hopefully things calm down.

Moderation is easy for me at home, but more challenging in a social setting. "Okay, just one more," is more an excuse to keep hanging out than anything else. Still, I've gotten better.
On the weight front - Yeah, in terms of weight loss, I can totally see the benefit; not only are you cutting out the calories in the alcohol, but people tend to be less inhibited when tipsy, and that certainly includes indiscriminate eating.

*of course, assuming that no situation comes up that would require me to leave the house like an injury or illness. Big gamble I've come to realize.

Oh, and another big benefit:
Not blowing all my money on booze means I can blow all my money on bike schwag instead

There are a lot of people hurting out there. We live in a town of about 60,000 people. I drove by our local food bank this morning, and there were cars lined up for about a mile waiting to drive through before it even opened. The thing is that ever since Covid really took hold, I had never seen it like that. Now there are cars lined up like that virtually every time I drive by.

datlas , you hearing anything encouraging about vaccines in PA? We got left off the federal roster of health care facilities (the paranoid in me wonders if deliberately) and have had to go begging to the state. Not expecting anything soon, even though we have committed to take up to 50 COVID patients from the community off-protocol.
Since I am NOT a hospital employee I am not able to get one quite yet. But some of my colleagues who work there have already gotten the vaccine and/or will be getting it this week.
My office cannot handle the deep freeze for the first vaccine but we have applied to get the Moderna vaccine. I honestly don't know if we will be getting it and when. The public health system in our country is de-centralized so it's a mixed bag all around.

The hospital across the street has the Pfizer vaccine and is giving it out to any hospital employee who wants it. They are part of the Penn system so that may have helped them with clout.

I just heard on CBS radio that there is a new strain of virus in the U.k. and its showing up in other parts of the e.u.
does this vaccine cover us from this new strain or do they need to come up with a new on?
edit: cbs should read cbc. Spell check changed it.
