Social drinking has always struck me as strange. If you don't want to get drunk, why drink? For the taste? Fuhgeddaboutit.
And
Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp is an incredible book. She touches on so many things that alcoholics can relate to, and she does so with wit, charm, and honesty.
On to Day 4. It's a beautiful day.
