>>>Dear Alcohol,
>>>>>
>>>>>First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours.
>>>>>As my
>>>>>friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect
>>>>>post-work
>>>>>cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around during the
>>>>>holiday's - hidden inside chocolates, as you warm us when we're
>>>>>stuck
>>>>>in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've
>>>>>been
>>>>>wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that
>>>>>you have
>>>>>my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led
>>>>>to some
>>>>>unwise consequences:
>>>>>
>>>>>1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is
>>>>>important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of
>>>>>substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you
>>>>>make me
>>>>>call those ex-boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they
>>>>>do
>>>>>not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of
>>>>>the
>>>>>night?
>>>>>
>>>>>2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you
>>>>>suggest
>>>>>that I eat a taco with chili sauce, along with a big Italian
>>>>>meatball
>>>>>and some stale chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a
>>>>>Kit
>>>>>Kat after a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an
>>>>>eclectic
>>>>>eater, but I think you went too far this time.
>>>>>
>>>>>3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I
>>>>>need to
>>>>>do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the
>>>>>issue
>>>>>home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary,
>>>>>and the
>>>>>black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next
>>>>>day
>>>>>are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45
>>>>>seconds
>>>>>to get the front door key into the lock.
>>>>>
>>>>>4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting
>>>>>ridiculous! I know a little penance for our previous evening's
>>>>>debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is
>>>>>completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if
>>>>>the
>>>>>proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products,
>>>>>aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the
>>>>>kitchen
>>>>>floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in
>>>>>no
>>>>>way interfere with my daily activities.
>>>>>
>>>>>Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now &
>>>>>would like
>>>>>to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker
>>>>>of
>>>>>great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed
>>>>>companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money
>>>>>in my
>>>>>pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you
>>>>>carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately.
>>>>>I
>>>>>will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy
>>>>>hour) on
>>>>>your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this
>>>>>fruitful
>>>>>partnership.
>>>>>
>>>>>Thanks,
>>>>>Your Biggest Fan
>>>>>
>>>>>P.S. THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
>>>>>1. Innovative
>>>>>2. Preliminary
>>>>>3. Proliferation
>>>>>4. Cinnamon
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>THINGS THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
>>>>>1. Specificity
>>>>>2. British Constitution
>>>>>3. Passive-aggressive disorder
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
>>>>>1. Thanks, but I don't want to have sex.
>>>>>2. Nope, no more beer for me.
>>>>>3. Sorry, but you're not really my type.
>>>>>4. Good evening, officer. Isn't it lovely out tonight?
>>>>>5. Oh, I couldn't. No one wants to hear me sing
