Sad expose of what drinking does.

Good one Gershon. It works for non-alcoholics. For those addicted...right thinking requires a whole lot more. Other skilled people. People still think if you are drunk, you tell the truth. Nonsense. Alcohol is a drug not a truth serum. But that fairy tale is still alive. Ugh... Anyone on booze or drugs has "stinking thinking." Pangie

Yes, addictions are hard to break, and one can never lapse. People ask me if I smoke. I tell them truthfully that I haven't had a cigarette since September of 1973 -- because it would take just one to get me going again. So you can't quit smoking/alcohol/drugs 'til you're dead, either of natural causes or the addiction. Strength and Willpower, Gershon

LOL! Well done! The thing is drinks may bring relief to oneself but it hurts those around you!

Do you remember how to spell relief from the old TV commercial days: R O L A I D S (flavored rum). lol... Glad I'm not a drinker is all I can say. Bottoms up! ~ Daffy Duck
