Alcohol actually messes with your normal sleep patterns. Yes it's CNS
depressant, but facts are facts.

And I had a Maker's Mark on the rocks a while back (no water, until
the ice melted) and yes it was like WOAH! at first sip, but I like
Maker's! And it was quite nice! Got a bit of a buzz from it too. I
normally don't drink alone (explains why there's a $30 bottle of
whiskey sitting on my desk unopened-Christmas gift!), but I did that
evening and it was pretty cool.
