Wow.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone... I tend to get bitchy with my nerves on
the ragged edge every time I try to give it up. I'm a much nicer person
if I allow myself to drink. ;-) Funny isn't it? The drug companies would
probably love to sell me something for that.

Cheers dear! <clink>

I do not, however, drink and drive, nor do I drink before going to
work...
