If it was your last day
 

If it was your last day on earth, would you have a drink?

NO! I love being in the moment and clear headed. If it was my last day on earth, alcohol would be the last thing on my mind.

No.

Not today.

I'm worried about staying sober today. That wouldn't change on my "last" day, even if I could predict when that might be.

LOL! What a waste. That 'last' drink would require another drink, then another then another etc. Id black out or pass out by noon and wouldn't experience my last day on earth!

Absolutely NO. Because I feel SOOOO GREEEEAT without it.

Seriously, no kidding.

Good input guys! :)

As far as I know, it is my last day on earth. For I do not know what fate has in store for me.

And no, I'm not drinking.

Why do you ask? Are you setting up in your mind the situations where it is "okay" to drink?

i'd be too busy holding on tight to my husband and my daughter, and trying to absorb every sight and smell and sound to bother much with meaningless stuff like having a drink.

Oh gosh no not at all! I was just curious that is all, nothing more than that :)

I have zero proof that this is not my last day. So drinking would be pointless.

It depends. If the plane is nose diving towards the Atlantic then ya, definitely pass the vodka!

My initial thought would be HELL YES! Guess it's my inner alcoholic instinct I still have. However, after about 30 seconds, I thought...actually, no I wouldn't. I don't think I would want to spend the last hours of my life getting reaquainted with something that almost destroyed my life and family.

There have been many days that people have said the world would end and we are still here.

I know how horrible I felt the next day so I would be afraid there would be a next day. No drinking for me.

What a good question.

Absolutely not -- I'd want to collect my final thoughts and sensations with a clear head and really appreciate every atom of my final breaths!

Of course, that's assuming I were about to die. If it were instead my last day on Earth because Zaphfrak Xblurb Whigwxyl the Third was transferring me to planetary system with no alcohol and where all beverages tasted like sour milk, I might be tempted to reconsider my answer.

I think we've discussed this before. The answer for me is no. I'd say, with the words of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, "Free at last! Thank God almighty! I'm free at last!" When the end comes, would the former slave put on his chains again just for "old time's sake"? Should AVRT's "beast within" have the "last laugh"? (A soft demonic chuckle: "I knew you were on a dry drunk all along!")They offered Commodore Vanderbilt champagne on his deathbed and he replied, "Wouldn't sody water do just as well?"

All very interesting answers, keep them coming and thank you for taking the time to reply to my question :)

Nope - no wish for a hangover on my first day in heaven :)

I remember when I was at a SOS dinner meeting. Someone talk about how he does not want to die from alcohol abuse. But if he only had a few week or months to live from a disease then he would not care and would drink.
