I'm a big whiskey guy, had been one for almost 20 years. I enjoy sipping a pour of nice single malt whiskey once or twice a week, and still do. But ever since I started signing up for full marathon runs, I would quit alcohol during my training, cold turkey; but would get back to the habit of 1 to 2 drinks a week after the race is complete.

The marathon is in early May each year, and I start my training around December or January, so I would go half a year on alcohol and half a year off. The decision to stop drinking for half a year had nothing to do with bitcoin and I'm not saving the money to buy more bitcoin. Whiskey is something I enjoy and I don't think I will ever quit, but I guess there's always some weird reason for people to stop doing what they enjoy, and instead push themselves through pain and suffering? My reason is running.
