"Discerning Alcoholic". ROFL. That's a great oxymoron.
Being an alcoholic is like being caught up in a funhouse mirror. None of makes any sense in the light of day. None of it. It will seem brilliant at the time, even when not drunk and I suppose that is when the lizard brain AV is speaking.
We were nuts back then. Very grateful this is now.
