How To Ace An Intervention

What if Picasso's so-called pals had convinced him to stop drinking absinthe? Sure, he may have become less of an asshole and could have afforded a better apartment, but wouldn't we be deprived of the brilliantly shining light of his irreplaceable art? Art that has inspired and touched the souls of millions! You would throw all that away so the poor bastard could wake up every morning without a hangover? Really? You are the enemies of art! I decry you as the oppressive jail keepers of creative thought!"

LOL!!! That makes a good tagline.

Cheers, Gawain.

It's easier to cut down to little or no drinking.
Do what I did. Get a divorce. It works.

Speaking drinking and marriage, from recent ATJ posts:

#1

A fellow decides to take off early from work
and go drinking. He stays until the bar closes
at three in the morning, at which time he is
extremely drunk. After leaving the bar, he returns
home on foot.

When he enters his house, he doesn't want to
wake anyone, so he takes off his shoes and starts
tip-toeing up the stairs. Half-way up the stairs
though, he falls over backwards and lands flat
on his back. That wouldn't have been so bad,
except that he had couple of empty pint bottles
in his back pockets, and they broke; the broken
glass carved up his back terribly. Yet, he was
so drunk that he didn't know he was hurt.

A few minutes later, as he was undressing,
he noticed blood, so he checked himself out in
the mirror, and, sure enough, his behind was
cut up terribly. He then repaired the damage
as best he could under the circumstances, and
he went to bed.

The next morning, his head was hurting, his
back was hurting, and he was hunkering under
the covers trying to think up some good story,
when his wife came into the bedroom.

"Well, you really tied one on last night,"
she said. "Where'd you go?"

"I worked late," he said, "and I stopped off
for a couple of beers."

"A couple of beers? That's a laugh," she replied.
"You got plastered last night. Where did you
go?"

"What makes you so sure I got drunk last night,
anyway?"

"Well," she replied, "my first big clue was
when I got up this morning and found a bunch
of band-aids stuck to the mirror."

On their way home after celebrating their
25th anniversary, she thanks him for a wonderful
evening.

"Oh. it's not over yet", says the husband.

Once in the house, he gives her a little black
velvet box. She opens it in anticipation, "But
what are these two little pills?"

"Aspirin", says he.

"But I don't have a headache," she says.

"There you are, I told you the evening wasn't
over yet!"

Whatever that article said, I agree with it. Although it's probably very applicable.

You can be morerude and obnoxious sober, 'cause by closing time, you can still pronounce obnoxious!!Fun post!

(I used to think it was the whiskey, but is the mixers!)
