Actually, I agree with sister Rain...although I am biased as I'm an
ex-imbiber myself...the only thing that helped my hangovers back in The
Daze was HairOtheDog...shot o' tequila made everything bright and
shiney...for a while...
Alcohol more or less literally cleans the body out, in a bad
way...displaces water which displaces things like water-soluble vitamins,
etc...I've no training in such things, just happen to read a lot/too much,
but in short, getting drunk screws the system up...
Over time, it screws up yer life :) How much time is the bitch...can be a
drink, can be a decade...doesn't take long to screw up a life...
Well...a bit of preaching from Monk Rael....go figure...it happens...flog
me if you desire, bitte sehr...
But Da Bread...well, a good chunk from such a blessed loaf should get
anyone's endorphins running high enough to where Ms Ethyl ain't
needed...mouthful o' luv, mmmm......
