If you were an IPA person hop water and NA beers from companies like Athletic have come a long way. Worth it once in awhile to get that flavor fix without the alcohol. Hoplark is the best I've tried. Flavor is good but they are thinner, like lower viscosity, which takes a minute to get used to. Ritual exists for liquor but I haven't tried it and heard mostly bad things.

yeah, i'm not gonna say it doesn't suck having to carry them around all the time and risk damage and the problems of cheap shitty scratched dirty lenses compared to and the price of good ones. none of the solutions are good. laser can help but is expensive, glasses are bulky and fragile, contacts are annoying af and don't forget to take them out. ouch. i wore some colored ones one night, got way too drunk, and woke up my eyes were sandpaper. though if it means i can fully see all day long it might actually be less of a pain. but if the kidney function returning reverses it then there's no sense in me going to much lengths. i probably even could have half this prescription and it would be perfectly fine. oh yeah, also, might be worth getting some of those necklace string things, i gotta get some myself. makes me feel a bit like an old fart because mostly that's who wears them like that, but i would like to not have people chasing after me to give them back when they fall off my collar where i hang them when i'm not reading.
