"Alcohol does not solve any problems but again, neither does milk" anonymous

Only my family finds this being the best line anyone ever came up with, we've laughed a lot about it
I have laughed about it
Only my family will joke of The drink and give it respect at the same time
Only my family, because I am the only family I know of that well

But let me flip the coin, and see the other side

I have an uncle who died of alcoholism and sadly his sons follow the same path 
Of my four brothers, only one doesn't drink
One has mental illness and tends to mix the drugs together (you know, alcohol plus his prescriptions)
Everyday he is always "quiting"
Or my other brother who has been in trouble with the law because of The drink 
Or my other brother who can drink from Sunday to Saturday, from day to night
                This one has become a regular pick up from ditches

Or my youngest sister. She has the best spirit. She loves fun. Her idea of fun usually entails The drink 
Sadly I've noticed the tremors in her hands
Or my other sister and i. Me and her are what I call closeted drinkers.
We do it openly only after analysing the surrounding and those with us
We have it more tamed, I guess it's because we are mothers

Or my dad. He doesn't drink. I have never seen him drink. My brothers always brag of how he used to drink alot and how sometimes he will take them with him to his drinking endeavours
My mother only talks of those days with horror
But he quit, became born again in time for i and my sisters births 
Am glad I never saw him that way, because maybe I'd be a different woman today

Maybe I should flip the coin again
And stop being such a Debbie downer
Maybe on this cold Friday night,
I need to get myself a pack of woodstock beer to sleep too
