In case any of you could use some extra motivation today. This study shows that alcohol increases your risk of many diseases, including ones we haven’t associated with alcohol such as gout and fractures.

I went through a little of a sugar and dessert phase here and there. Treat myself for not drinking. It’s been five years now so not only do I have no desires or cravings to drink, the thought actually repulses me. So it’s a little easier to focus on other health habits. I go through two bottles of SodaStream a day, though. 😀
