Does it feel like prices of groceries are skyrocketing??

55. Here's a funny thing ...

I actually kinda wish I was in your shoes, with your body chemistry, believe it or not.

Cause sometimes, actually getting in trouble ... prompts change.

Somehow I've managed to avoid any serious consequences (thought the Doc ain't happy with my liver numbers) other than a DUI on the night before my college graduation in the early 90's.

And that wasn't even my fault, the girl in my car started blabbering in a really obviously drunken way about how her brother is a sheriff or some shit. If she wasn't there I swear I'd have walked that time too.

I blew .12 (at the time .10 was limit) but ... I was pretty much fine. It was the end of college, I had quite the tolerance. Not saying it was fine to be driving, but if it'd just have been me ... very confident I'd have been let go. I passed every one of their tests, it's even in the record. Only got pulled over cause my tags were mildly expired, for the record.

OTTH, My BFF since 4th grade he was more like what you're talking about and he's been sober from booze for like 20 years cause he's terrified of what may happen.

Pretty sure he'll outlive me in the end cause booze makes him act crazy but it doesn't to me, and he quit because of it. I have done that before too, a few times, but not like him
