It's worse than heroin for withdrawal (you can die from alcohol withdrawal), it makes you say things you wouldn't normally say (see beginning of film Kelly's Heroes) and it can leave you with a really bad headache. Just drink sensibly, for you, most alcoholics I know drink more sensibly than your average man at the pub because they know they are taking a drug and act accordingly. It's not a glamorous lifestyle but who cares? Really. Be happy release the tension and go with the flow.....there are billions of teetotallers on the planet doing nothing for the world...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-52466559933719381832007-10-08T14:08:00.000-07:002007-10-08T14:08:00.000-07:00CE,OK, Whatever floats your boat.
