deeker

I drank to be witty--and I became a boor.

I drank to relax--and I couldn't stop my hands from shaking.

I drank to feel good--and I suffered through sickening hangovers.

I drank to be happy--and it made me depressed.

I drank to be a good dancer--and it made me stagger.

I drank to be a good conversationalist--and I couldn't pronounce my words.

I drank to be sociable--and I became angry and resentful.

I drank to help my appetite--and cheated my body of nutrition by not eating right.

I drank to be a good lover--and I couldn't perform.

I drank to show I was a woman/man--and became a slobbering, bawling baby.

I drank to be popular--and lost my friends.

I drank to enjoy life--and contemplated suicide.

I drank for camaraderie--and drove everyone away from me.

I drank to escape--and built a prison for myself.

I drank to find peace--and I found hell.
