When near death, would you drink?
Say that you're in prison, on death row. You will be executed in two weeks. The governor has denied you pardon, the whole nine yards.
Then, SOMEHOW, you find a guard that will give you shots of whiskeybecause the guard likes you and feels sorry for you.
Would you take the drinks?

Good question. No, I hate whiskey. Would I like to spend a couple of days drinking chardonnay and smoking marlboro lights with friends, dancing etc. Yes, BUT I still wouldn't do it. If I could do it and not be hungover, yes I would.
Nope, I don't drink anymore, period. If I were in prison on death row, to be executed, I would have to assume that alcohol contributed to putting me there. Not something I would want to partake in. Quite honestly, the idea of drinking and alcohol is a big turn off to me. Never thought I would say that, but it is very true.
The idea would maybe be like to heck with it but Puking and Headaches the next morning? Wretching over a steel toilet with the guards laughing at you? Rupturing your esophagus from the vomit and the guards still stare in and laugh? no thanks.
I would rather die with my head held high.

These kind of morbid thoughts used to occupy my mind once upon a time. Not long after, though, I would hear a voice saying suicide was a good idea, and then it would say "well, suicide is kind of hasty don't you think, and what if you screw it up? Why not take a drink instead and think it over properly?"
That's when I realized it was the old Beast of buzz trying to come up with an indirect plan to drink, and I decided that come hell or high water, terminal disease or not, suicide or not, I still wouldn't drink. Interestingly enough, the morbid thoughts then went away.

I have often asked myself that question. Say there were a nuclear mushroom cloud rising into the sky 5 miles away and there was a abandoned liquor store near-by?
Can't say for sure, but I would rather meet my maker sober.

I would get drunk as possible. I sometimes think that if someone told me I had cancer or AIDS that I would pick up the bottle again. I know this sounds bad but I'm being brutally honest.
I have a very special bottle of bourbon, and yeah, if I know I am on my way out, I am going to have a shot a day, not to get wasted, but to savor the taste. I'd also eat a lot of brownies and ice cream and have as much sex as was humanly possible.
