Seriously.. Yeah they'd still have to learn coping mechanisms but at least they won't be getting that insane high from alcohol...or opiods.
Yes I know doping the water supplies probably goes against the 3cs. But what about the 4th C... Contaminate!! I can't think of a C word that means.. Inoculate the alcoholic masses because their disease hinders self help.

Most people are not alcoholics. You cannot put a drug in the water supply for only a small percentage of the population. What next? Antidepressants in the water supply? Xanax?

I was joking..I have moments of complete inappropriateness, I usually stop myself before I hit submit.
Haha. I have well water. AH refused to drink water at all because he couldn't stand to drink something with no taste. In fact, that was his excuse for drinking 8 - 10 - 12 beers a day: he had to drink *something* and he *couldn't* drink water.
For me, humor is when I laugh "with". If I find myself laughing "at", I need to reevaluate.

I think it's a pretty fine line. I also think here in the Friends and Family forum we hop right over that line frequently.
Not because we are cruel people but because the conditions and situations found in an alcoholic household can be so ludicrous and by god they are funny sometimes! Someone wanting to run to the liquor store naked is funny. Is it also sad, of course it is. Dark humour.
Living with the madness that is alcoholism is not easy and sometimes we need a laugh and sometimes others will find that inappropriate (we are coming from different perspectives), however I do defend those that need to vent a bit and I personally didn't find this inappropriate at all.
Sometimes you laugh rather than the alternative, which is to cry.

Man, if I didn't laugh at the insanity of my life right now I'd go mental. I'm glad I have a coping mechanism that doesn't come out of a bottle..

Umm ... water is supposed to have no taste ...
This is one of the more creative excuses for drinking alcohol that I’ve heard recently.
