Curt, have you ever had a drink or three, or just got plain very drunk?
Although this a crude analogy, sometimes on a hot day everything is just a series of unassailable boundaries. But after a couple of cold ones you're on horseback, clearing those hedges with a mighty leap and careering off towards endless vistas of possibilities. The wind is in your hair and it feels good to be in the saddle...
(Of course, later on, you could well be on your hands and knees, noisily hurling chunks at the bottom of one of the hedges, but hey, what a ride!)
Nah, sometimes drink is great. Every young man should be recklessly drunk at some stage in their teens. Even if it's just in a 'know thine enemy' way.
Don't be silly.
I don't need the crutch of alcohol to get my day started.
That's what tea is for.
I stopped drinking about 12 years ago.
I used to be able to down half bottles of Vodka with ease. Big deal.
I never had a problem with drink, I was merely 'one of the lads'.
I realised that drinking, as well as smoking and drugs is for morons.
And when you see family members hitting the skids because of it,
you come to a conclusion that it destroys lives...
One thing that annoys me is people who cannot get it into their tiny skulls that drinking is something I DO NOT DO.
When they say"Oh come on! Just one drink can't hurt!"
I say "One shoot up of smack won't hurt either will it? Get bent!"
Sorry, but too many people are brainwashed with this dumb 'drink is great' attitude.
Let me tell you: Drink is crap. And too expensive, and the worst drug apart from smack.
I prefer the high of being straight now, and my health is superb.
When all the people who are making these 'Alchohol-Uber-alles' comments are lying with ruptured, poisoned livers,
I will be thinking of you in my healthy old age!
Drink all you want, just don't try and hit me with your misguided peer pressure.
Seen it, done it, drank the double.
and i basically hurting all over and my phone credit has dropped to 2p
