NOTE: remember to always drink responsibly, and never drink and drive. As one commenter pointed out using “guiltless” might give someone the idea of drinking a lot or that drinking is good for you – this is not what it means, but if you chose to have a drink now and then, this is a lighter choice then beers. It’s all about choice. I think our readers are adult enough to make good choices – but our commenter was concerned then some might not be so we have added this note.
