Patty,

Thanks for the nice note. I'd probably like to stop drinking entirely, at least for awhile, and see if the rosacea would clear up. I'm not talking to a doctor, or at least one whose bill goes to my insurer, about drinking. If I ever need to purchase individual insurance and medical records show treatment for drinking, I would be out of luck.

Is there a way here to exchange e-mail addresses without posting the address? I'm sure that some times I would like to have a personal correspondence that I'm not interested in the entire community reading.
