this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Beer feels me up too much now

It...grabs your bosom?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Beer probably saved the human race at one point or another. Probably several times. I'm all in favor of it.

I started doing my own nails and I'm getting better at it. I think getting some good cuticle remover, a good base coat and an excellent top coat (thanks to Plei) have made all the difference. I'll still cut them short every few weeks, but then I do a manicure and paint them and they grow out nicely.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I think the only time my grandmother had alcohol was by accident. It was supposed to be lingonberry juice at one of her ladies' lodge teas. It had fermented. So you had all these drunken swedish ladies who had no idea what hit them.

I love that story.

I think the guidelines are fairly ridic. If you followed them, you'd never get drunk ever. And getting drunk is far from the only reason to drink, but I don't think it's the scourge that those rules make out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Getting drunk sure isn't the only reason to drink, nor the most frequent reason to imbibe, but it's naive to think it's not a draw. And, dude, it can be FUN. So back off, Puritans. But obviously not the ones with the beer shortage problem.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

To be fair, if you're drunk you haven't been drinking in moderation. The question of whether you should at all times limit yourself what is moderate is separate from defining the terms.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And tonight's Intervention is about an alcoholic. Good times.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

> We in fact all believed he was guilty, but it was so very Not Proven.

The one criminal trial I was on the jury for, there was a little room for reasonable doubt left when the prosecution rested. Then the defendant took the stand, and there was no doubt at all.

I am baffled by non-drinkers who have never been drinkers, I will admit. I have a hard time computing.

I never liked the taste of wine or beer, and what little effect I got from the alcohol was unpleasant also. Hard liquor -- it's all just lighter fluid to me.

I've always imagined that being buzzed or tipsy would be similar to how I feel when I have a fever over 100F (unfocused, light-headed, even dizzy), but I don't really know. I've seen thoroughly drunk, and it scares me.
