DriGuy: "Well, you're following the instructions in the book, but when I read that part of the book, I thought, "Why would I want to get drunk to analyze this." I'm pretty sure I know how crappy I feel about it. Maybe there's something deeper there that might be helpful, but looking at it through wine colored glasses seems like an odd way to do any serious thinking."

My comment:
"When I read that part of the book, I thought, "Why would I want to get drunk to analyze this."

In fact, I'm guessing that's not what he intended at all. If I wrote to him, I would anticipate that he would clarify it as my misunderstanding, just as I would point out such a misunderstanding to you.
At, any rate, I don't believe you got drunk to do the experiment, but decided to try the experiment after you got drunk. I might have done the same at one time.

Don't expect that much from me. I make gaffs and say inappropriate things, as much as the next guy. Although, I will enter a "not guilty" plea to this one.
