No you hav'nt offended me at all but you did make me wish I could loosen up a bit myself with a few drinks!. I used to throw back a six pack of beer a few times each week, smoke a big cigar, watch a movie and then hit the sack. I'd wake up the next morning feeling like a million bucks. However, I was pretty young then and when I got older and depression/OCD hit me, I began drinking in earnest and became an alcholoic for a year and a half.

I'd throw back over a case of beer a day and chain smoke until I got good and sick just to drown my emotional pain. I tried to stop drinking many times and with the help of God (a LOT of praying!) I eventually quit for good and have been clean ever since. I went through the dilerium tremens/shakes/anxiety while I was quitting and my life was a nighmare. Still, I wish I could be "normal" like all those guys in the TV commercials who drink beer with thier buds and sit around watching football and eating BBQ.
