Oh, I can grasp it, especially since I am an alcoholic. And no, life isn't more exciting with alcohol. You can do the exact same things sober that you do while drinking, and guess what? It's just as exciting. I'm pretty sure there isn't much you can tell me about all that since I lived it for many, many years.
