JF1 - I adore you, please don't take this the wrong way!
I don't think these threads are great... I don't see the good in thinking back to the "good ol' days", no matter how far ago they were for some... there are plenty in this forum who are struggling today and this sort of thread validates their drinking. I know it was not the *intention* of the thread, but we all know - when you're an active alcoholic ANYTHING is a trigger, and ANYTHING can be encouragement to drink...
I'm drinking Soda and water tonight.
Not mixed together though XD
