They really don't function as normal human beings. Their reality is permanently altered. If they continue this way for too long, they will never be as they were before they started drinking. Ever see someone with the DT's? It is pretty scary. Some people fool themselves into believing that because alcohol is legal it really isn't a drug per se, but it is. Like any other drug it changes your personality and physiology, sometimes indefinitely.
After posting yesterday, I drank water last night. The fact that I can drink nearly a fifth of scotch and not feel drunk or have a hangover is kind of scary. It would be so easy to become an alcoholic. Not only that, both my parents had drinking problems which is sometimes an indicator that their children (me) could develop one too. I thought I was fine since I don't drink daily and I generally only drink in the evenings. When I wrote about it, it didn't seem fine at all.
On a different note, a 50 year old bottle of Glenfiddich single malt scotch recently sold in Oregon for $27,000. It comes in a bottle of hand-blown glass. It's sterling silver collar is engraved with a picture of Queen Elizabeth II wearing an oversized crown. It is part of a batch of 450 bottles, released in groups of 50 between 2009 and 2017. What would you do with a $27,000 bottle of single malt scotch?
Why, I'd do scotch facials at the club with all the honies!
Seriously, I wouldn't share any of it with anyone. I'd book a weekend away from the family at the summer home, buy a bunch of cubans, and drink/smoke until I got my fill. Would temper the weekend with viewings of Michael Mann movies, Rocky I thru VI, steak, and the occasional glass of water.
Then would post blurry pics of the event on getbig.
