A few months ago, I started smoking cigars when playing golf.  But only when I am playing golf.

Nothing wrong with drinking as long as you do not abuse it. People treat it sometimes like it's a sin.

Abuse of anything, even food, is bad for your health.

Now tobacco  - that causes health issues if you use it on a daily basis. That's different from alcohol.

How do you maintain your grip on your driver when you do that?

I've taken a loose grip to the extreme.

Bad habit -

I don't take my video camera to the range frequently. If I did, I could cut the learning curve by 2/3.

bad habits make for the best stories...

Think about how many great stories start out... "So one night I was out drinking..."

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

We either have too many Baptists running around the board, or parents who gave their kids guilt trips about demon alcohol.

Dear Reader, having a drink or two is fine, some drinks are even healthy, and reduce stress. BUT remember, abusing yourself, whether it's too much food, or alcohol, is always a bad habit.

Being a responsible adult is always good form.

I'm nose picker while driving too, dont know I'm doing it half the time, usually though, its on the way home from work and I've collected quite a bit of dust up there.

I also have a habit of going to the pub for a "couple", then, rolling out after last orders, I'm a bit of a social animal so, when the company is good, I cannot tear myself away! :D

Scotch is another, I love scotch, Laphroaig is my tipple of choice, and, when there's a bottle of that in the house, well, its the alcoholic equivalent to having a biscuit with a cup of tea, once their opened, your never content until the packet is empty, and in this case... The bottle!

You may see a bit of a recurring theme with me and my drinking, but, I never drink heavily the night before I'm driving, so, nowadays, its usually resigned to Friday and Saturday nights, other nights, I may have a bottle of Stella with my dinner, or when watching a toeball (Soccer) match on an evening.

Crim

talk to my wife, she could go on for hour about my "bad" habits.

I personally like them.

I get REALLY irritable if I haven't worked out (running, lifting) in 24 hours.

I enjoy a glass of either bourbon or red wine for dinner every night.

I have to have a piece of meat every day, even if it's small, my sister says she looked into it because it runs in the family, apparently it's just a blood type thing. (Type O) I feel sick and weak without it.

I look for the worst in people first, I assume everyone has a hidden agenda and not very many people are truly nice. I don't like this one as much.

Leave dishes out, clothes on the floor, etc.

Restaurants too much.

I've always been a night owl but I work at 6 in the morning, I never go to sleep at a decent time.

etc

etc
