I think I missed the memo . . .

When did it become in-vogue to . . . uhhhh . . .

advertise one’s relative lack of awareness of the serious facts of alcoholism?

Was it just this year? Last year? The last 6 months? I really don’t know. I confess it’s a bit shockingly disturbing to my sensibilities.

I think I’d assumed that everyone with more than a 9th grade education had been educated about such basic facts of alcoholism and alcohol impairment. There I go again, getting in trouble for assuming.

I mean . . . it’s one thing to DENY them . . . but it’s quite another level of a problem to have never been informed of them.

I realize EDUCATION really doesn’t make a huge dent in the alcohol problem. But it far from hurts. It can at least decrease the number of clueless women who go all gah-gah for an alcoholic boy-friend.

Drop the alcoholism crap, that is NOT the issue at hand, civil liberties is the issue you would like to trample.

Hey, good for you you are aware of your own problems, well, as far as your own alcoholism goes, and seem to have a good handle on it. What’s the most recenyt chip you’ve earned?

How specifically does interlock devices address alcoholism? Would you like the Federal government to outlaw alcoholism?
