"Beer before liquor, never sicker.
Liquor before beer, in the clear."
I thought it was:
"Beer before whiskey, very risky.
Whiskey before beer, never fear."

Mr.QuakQuak said:I prob am a alchy. At least I'm not horrible like people I know. I'm a drink a fri or sat night 1-2 times a month. But I still consider myself a small alchy. Especially since it runs in my family on the male side. I'm just glad I'm not a mean drunk like my grandfathers.

Bingo. Yes, it is possible to appreciate and moderate..... alcohol need not ruin your job, your health, your education, or your life. Just enjoy a bit in good cheer rather than bathe in every flavor in some cultic fraternity machismic (is that a word?) ritual horsecrap.SpankBass said:....PS, on my actual birthday last tuesday, I went to a nice Italian Food place and had wine with my girlfriend and my mom. I liked that better.![]()
SomecallmeTim said:I don't think 1-2 times a month is going to be harmful for you or your family/friends, so I wouldn't feel too bad about being a "small alchy." That's saint-like compared to a lot of folks I know (and probably a lot that you know, as well.)
