Examples of copious in a Sentence
The general rule of thumb for emergencies is to store at least one gallon of water per person or pet per day and to have a three-day supply handy. However, if you typically drink tap water or have some sort of filter, I wouldn't worry about buying copious amounts of water.
The biggest challenge came with being cut out of some circles, and losing some friendships, because I felt suddenly out of place, you are going to have to work through those issues. I suggest finding other activities that don't involve drinking copious amounts of alcohol, like book clubs or running clubs.
