The beast is squirrelly today. It's telling AV to suggest perhaps just doing an experiment - "Let's just try 1/2 pint and see how it goes. If you don't get sick after an hour, we can get more."
Stupid beast. Who cares that today is Friday? It's the same now as it was when it was yesterday. And I don't drink now.
Will reconcile myself to the edgy feeling if that's how it's going to be right now. I'm not drinking today. And that's all there is to it.
