Thank you, Jamie. I was joking about the rehab thing. However, I did quit drinking recently and I am very proud of myself. But the truth is I got the flu and was too sick too drink for 3 days and then I was cured. I have learned that if you drink every day you adjust to it and then you feel funny if you try to quit, so I couldn't quit, which caused me no end of misery. I wasn't even a real heavy drinker but I drank every day. I had this friend, electrician, that had diabetes and drank a case a day, and one day he got up in the morning and went to the gas station to get coffee. He hadn't been drinking yet cause he just got up. He stepped off the curb and his feet went out from under him, and he landed splat on the sidewalk with his coffee. The police came and arrested him. At the jail they realized his foot was rotting off. He had to get it amputated.

That is a brilliant deduction Rick.

Hey Ricky,
Are you sure you want to go after the drinkers who don't call themselves alcoholics? That can be a divisive campaign, ya know.. lots of grey area there..
