Well...it does pass the time, yeah. Vodka used to be my fave. It's not that I don't drink, I just keep it to a minimum as all my meds go through my liver. So 1/2 a glass of wine or beer usually these days.
My last therapist used to tell me, when I was still drinking a lot, that alcohol doesn't solve any problems, it just creates a new one and keeps you from dealing with all the other ones that are back logged. Not trying to be preachy or anything, just saying what always rings in my head when I want to go on a bender. I can't deal with any more problems right now! Ya know?
Hangovers suck. Hope you're getting rehydrated now anyway. Gotta work tomorrow.

Will check back to see how you're doin'.
