Well, a new thread, a new name, and a new forum. That's all good, I guess. Dunno.
Hiya Dee, Cissy, Boozer, and Wolf. And Thomas, I'm putting together some more thoughts on anti-depressants, will probably post that tomorrow.
Thanks for the links, Shabby! Cool. Venecia's previous post/links led me to the book 'The Trip to Echo Spring: On Writers and Drinking', by Olivia Lang. It examines the alcoholism of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Cheever, Carver, Tennessee Williams, and John Berryman. (not familiar with Berryman, but the others are all faves of mine). I'm just barely into the book at this point, but it looks fascinating.
