But does it not make you feel happy that you can see through all that now?

Like you have joined some secret club that knows better? And you have this exclusive knowledge even though it might have been gained through pain and hard work?

I cannot help when I listen to people harp on about expensive wine.
Its all rotten fruit, despite how much cash it costs.
And when they wax lyrical about the 'smokiness' or 'mellowness' - I love saying what from rotten fruit you get that?

And when people say they drink for medicinal reasons I want to howl laughing.
Have any of us ever actually been to the doctors and got a prescription for red wine or blue WKD?!!!
Can you imagine that?
Where would you take your prescription? The chemist or the off license?!

I think that we have been brainwashed to think drink makes you less boring, more attractive, the life and soul of the party and its wrong.
How can a liquid that takes away your ability to function properly give you more confidence or relax you?

Whats sexy about throwing up?
Whats interesting about someone repeating themselves over and over again?

Years ago, smoking cigarettes was promoted and marketed in the same way and they got into trouble for it.
I do think there is a teeny weeny change coming with the drink responsibly logo and the promotion of understanding units of alcohol.

I like being a member of our exclusive club!
