There's no magic to staying sober TS...just don't pour the contents of the bottle down your neck.
That's not me disparaging anyone's effort either.
It's not easy - but, at base, it is simple....and the good thing is you don't need to pull it off with a half turn somersault or standing on one leg or anything...
it needn't be graceful - you just have to stay in that place we call sober.
I had faith when people here told me it gets better and it really does...a little discomfort now really pays off down the track
