			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to a going away party last Saturday night and drank enough to have a hangover. While I had fun, I was planning on an enjoyable morning of trail-building and mountain biking on Sunday. I enjoyed both &#8220;events&#8221;, but it is obvious to me that mountain biking and digging trails is clearly more important to me than drinking myself stupid. By drinking on Saturday night, I just made the next day a much bigger challenge that it should have been, and in turn didn&#8217;t enjoy it anywhere near as much as I should have.</p>
<p>Over the last six months or so my drinking has declined more and more. Maybe I&#8217;m &#8220;growing up&#8221;, but I think my priorities have just shifted&#8230;</p>
<p>I have mentioned earlier that I&#8217;m not a very competitive person. I have no need to win an Elite race on my bike, but I love the idea of being fit enough to do so. Fitness is becoming more and more important to me, and I&#8217;m only really starting to learn this now.</p>
<p>Now I know everyone says &#8220;I&#8217;m never drinking again&#8221; after they have a big night of binge drinking &#8211; I&#8217;m not saying that. I think I&#8217;m just over the big nights. A couple of beers here and there are cool, but I don&#8217;t want to mess up my body&#8217;s hydration completely. My weekends are very important to me &#8211; the things that I live for are outside, in the hills just taking it all in. When I wake up with a hangover on a Sunday, the day is wasted and it will be another week until I get the chance to live again.</p>
<p>Now, avoiding the binge drinking sessions &#8211; that&#8217;s where the real challenge lies. Here goes!</p>
