Love that beach story Faux - everything in moderation, even for the priests.

I have never been much of a drinker. On Christmas morning I sometimes put some Bailey's in my coffee. I have met so many women who have none of the risk factors for BC but get it anyway. That research would not stop me from having an occasional drink if I wanted one. I'll still be throwing the Bailey's in my coffee this Christmas.
