Self Inflicted Injury

A headache from a hangover is an injury that is self inflicted. Theoretically you should be charged with assault. Then again, the headache is probably enough punishment. 

The Effect of Alcohol & Drugs

Reading "The Drifters" by James A. Michener. Excellent write-up on the effects of alcohol and drugs. On marijuana, he thought that 10% were unaffected, 10% would move on to heroin and 80% would become lethargic. In other words society would be dumbed down. Listening to the latest news, we seem to be dumb enough and getting dumber.

A Conversation In Every Glass

There'a a story in every bottle, a conversation in every glass. This is a sentence that makes you go warm and fuzzy all over. Or is it a way of saying that you talk too much when you get drunk? After a few more bottles, you do get a lot more fuzzier.
I have read that they now have a nasal spray to cure shyness. Personally I've noticed that a few stiff drinks will cure that. At least for one night.
What can start out as a polite and civil conversation can end up as tongues flapping in the breeze. I suppose you have also noticed that all the tongues flap at the same time. And the only way to be heard is to flap louder and longer. A quite dangerous place for flies to be. Tongue flapping is associated with tongue wagging. I am sure that tongue wagging has a lot to do with the conversation in every glass. We are all aware that one thing leads to another. Tongue wagging, I am sure is the major cause of bar room fights. Polite talk accompnied by a miscued sentence can give you a new view of the swinging doors. But for now, you have learned your lesson and a week from now you will probably do the same thing again. In which case, learning from experience is not your thing.
