Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 19, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Same age as you. I drank socially when I was single and a yuppy, like 7 drinks a week, but since having kids it's like one 1-3 drinks a month on average. Even one drink feels like a high cost.

I did discover that I react quite poorly to wine and other craft beverages which takes a lot of fun out of countryside tastings though. Even just a few sips puts me into headachesville.

It kind of makes me a bit judgemental of people that drink regularly in middle age. But maybe they're very used to it and don't really suffer.
