Drink like a gentleman?
|

| So, learning to drink like a gentleman? How dangerous a risk,
and how boring a success! What's the point in drinking, but to get
drunk? Why take the life-haunting risk of attempting to drink
moderately, for what, for the sake of moderate drinking? It feels much
free-er to give up the idea of drinking altogether.

For people who can't hear .wav's, it sounds just like someone saying the
words, "just the facts, jack". I used to like Yukon Jack, Jack London,
and Jack Daniels; Now I only like Jack London, but enjoy him a lot
better than when I was drinking.

| There is no haunting riske. If you been restored to sanity there is no
danger of anything happening.
Its all based on the false belief that "Alcoholics" are physically
different. They are not.

Sorry, next time a little more detail. It is a sound bite from the
movie Stripes with Bill Murray. His platoon has just completed basic
training by themselves and when asked if this was true, Bill relpies
with "That's the fact, Jack." I thought appropriate to your post.
Thx. I also like Jack Nicholson better now that I've stopped. ;-)
