i can relate to that! i still remember years ago my sons mom gripin about me going for bread. i went to the bar, got knee walkin drunk, got the bread, and came home. she was quite furious and said my dinking was out of hand.
"but honey, i got the bread! john went to get bread, ended up in Chicago for 3 days, and didn't bring the bread home!"
