When I first allowed myself to discover getting drunk, I had a brief love affair with alcohol. That was about a year ago. The worst part about getting drunk is the possibility that you'll blithely give yourself serious physical injury by falling or somesuch other clumsy mistake. But the second worst thing about it, to me, is that you can't just pull yourself out of it when you're ready to leave the State of Drunkeness. No, you have to wait...and wait...before you can safely do anything that requires near-soberness. Well, I get bored waiting; otherwise I might drink more.
