Positively Negative

I came across this poem today and it served as a nice reminder -

"Positively Negative" by Ann Landers

We drank for joy and became miserable.

We drank for sociability and became argumentative.

We drank for sophistication and became obnoxious.

We drank for friendship and became enemies.

We drank to help us sleep and awakened exhausted.

We drank to gain strength and it made us weaker.

We drank for exhilaration and ended up depressed.

We drank for “medical reasons” and acquired health problems.

We drank to help calm us down and ended up with the shakes.

We drank to get more confidence and became afraid.

We drank to make conversation flow more easily and the words came out slurred and incoherent.

We drank to diminish our problems and saw them multiply.

We drank to feel more heavenly and ended up feeling like hell.

-

Have a nice sober day everyone
