Whiskey a Go Go!
The longer I live, the more often I hear myself sayin’ “Ain’t life grand!”
But I’m also clear that around any corner there lurks something that just plain sucks! And can throw a wrench in your life. And we need some relief. And the most common form of relief is a good stiff drink. Which brings me to my thesis here: Alcoholism is not a disease; it is too much cure.
If one drink dulls the pain, then two or three could well eliminate it all together. Every drink we take, I suggest, removes one more of our oars from the water. Until ultimately, which is always lurking nearby, we are adrift. And if we thought life was tricky before, trying it without any oars, our wits, well, we just be plain fucked! Unfortunately, not only does that hurt us, but more often than not we take others down with us. Too much cure. And now we have a disease.
The only question that offers relieve, God knows therapies have shown no success rate that inspires hope, …. That is, the only question if answered correctly is “Is there a better way to drink?” My observation over decades of work history and personal experience, is I know at least where the start of an answer lies. It lies in drinking more intelligently.
I know, sounds like an oxymoron. But I am suggesting that if we knew how to drink more effectively in every situation in which we find ourselves drinking – the end result would be less harm being done. And so, this site is about how to drink more effectively. Which begins with clarity on what’s easily available. Stay tuned.
