Poetry/fiction (widely published), music and poetry videos (widely viewed).

As this *is* SR and we are speaking of the arts, I will say that alcohol has def. played a part in my writing at differing times in my life (not so much music, but sometimes even there).

I'd by lying if I didn't say alcohol fueled some of my better work.

It works like pouring gasoline on an open fire when you have a large wood pile going.

And it flames brightly until your entire "woodpile" is gone and you're left in the dark.

It works by connecting differing aspects of your brain, like pouring water onto a circuit board. That which was not connected now suddenly is.

But it will also, rather quickly, destroy the entire board.

It's a double-edged sword that eventually becomes a single-edged sword, destroying at both insert and withdrawal.
