Hi I am only 23 I started making wine 4 years ago and 3 years ago I started distilling, recently I started having a thought is this hobby worth the health ? I enjoy very much process of making alcohol (picking apples and making brandy, milling malt, making gin and sharing with people) but the idea of alcohol making lose my health is putting me off. Currently I am drinking maybe 3x times a week around 100 - max 180ml of whisky/brandy in one sitting with my wife which I think is quite alot as I have alot of free time (health related I have some problem with thyroid) probably when I will get back to work it will be not as much but anyway ...
I am so gutted as I recently purchased bain Marie keg and plated column and that thought came to my head to leave that hobby
I drink more as the taste of good alcohol is making me to drink more not the feeling of getting drunk when I will feel drunk to serpent point I know when to stop
What's your thoughts guys?
