Good to hear. We have a risky occupation and no reason to add to the problems.

I gave up drinking beer and smoking cigars.

Worst three days of my life, lemme tell ya.....

Kidding aside, I see NO reason to give up either activity as long as I do them in moderation. I ain't got time for Puritanical Prohibitionist bullshit.
