Alcholism......

[piemma]

Demon Rum is a killer. As a salesman on the road for 30+ years I became a highly functioning alcoholic. Not much to do in the hotel after meeting with customers all day so you drink. pretty soon, it translates to home and it starts as 1 martini before dinner and escalates to 2 then 3 and finally you are passing out before you can eat.
I had my last drink on November 3rd, 1999. 8 years and I still miss the buzz but not the aftermath.

Tagger, you realized what was real early. May have saved your life. Me, I can talk to someone sloshed and lost at sea and I don't pick up on it. Puzzles the hell outa me. Unless they come outa the woods and start yelling at me for breaking their trees, then I have spider sense...
