That's a great post-retirement occupation! (In my case, I would substitute Crystal Light or just plain water for the beer, wine, or whiskey.)
All of our lives we are indoctrinated with the idea that we have an obligation to work hard and contribute to society. Or at least, I was. Now that I am 64 and not getting even slightly younger every day, I think it is time that I spend most of every day contributing to my own happiness and enjoyment of the time remaining to me.
Let's hear it for liquid conversions, and for Nords' surfing, for that matter. For every thing there is a season, and time for every purpose unto heaven. Once we have retired it is time for these great post-retirement occupations.

Happily retired since 2009, at age 61. Best years of my life by far!
