When my wife and I were living in sin both with kids from practice marriages our family nickname became H2 Family since both of our last names started with H. Years later number 2 daughter had this sign made - H2 Brew House. Established date is 20 years off, oh well.
I'm with Brac on this one. If I drink a lot of extra hoppy IPAs I wake up with super dry mouth and feel dehydrated. Not just related to ABV, happens with lower ABV brews too.

For me the best addition was a new wife. When I started brewing it was always a fight to find brew time. I traded the SWMBO for a supportive spouse and brewing has never been an issue for the last 15 years. It helps that she loves stouts and IPAs and loves to go brewery hopping.
