Alcohol doesn't make you anything.

Everything I say is trivial, but
it means so much to me. So maybe


you won't find it so. It releases
inhibitions. Except

I've never had any
notable
inhibitions, so maybe
it increases inclinations?
I don't buy it. It's a depressant!

How could it? The point is

Who you are. If you hide it,
if you spin it, alcohol

decreases your chance
to do that.

Don't blame it

for who you are. But
if others will extend you
that common excuse? Hey,

don't let them fool you.
Wherever you've gone
too far,
too far,

too far.

That was you.

You are
way above rock-bottom, now
and feeling quite pleasure,
forget "no pain." Take stock

of your life
and your self

while you're drunk. It's
all of it you. Grasp,
and reach.

See what that does to your
brain.
