years ago i took a class on drinking amd culture - it sadi the one universal cultural rule about drinking was the stigma of drinking alome (no matter what george thorogood says)

Clever....

:)

i remember being in elementary school and watching film strips that stated if you drank alone, you were an alchoholic, period.

if that is the case then holy shit am i in a bad place. I subscribe to the "Never drink before 5pm" rule. And everyone knows aht is so special about 5:00, right? :D
