Bam...at one time or another we all missed it. I miss lots of things...the house I grew up in...old friends who I no longer see...my children when they were young...my 24 inch waist...you get the idea. It's not uncommon to miss what booze use to do for us...it's normal and expected but lamenting over booze is a dangerous proposition.
Dump out the booze...stop playing with fire cause you know what happens next.
