...I just cracked open the bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream that was a gift for someone.

Jesus. Is there hope, or should I just kill myself before my liver gives out?

Go for a bike ride, see what happens.

The good news is, you can always buy another bottle of Bailey's for them. Might I suggest the Mint or Caramel flavored?

That sounds good. Too good. Another problem is, I blew my Xmas spending limit many $$ ago.

Fuck a bike.

Drink.

there are bigger problems than alcoholism. for instance, in your case you are a giant pussy, evidenced by your consumption of bailey's.

I concur, the only time I have drank this was when I was sick one New Years and couldn't really drink hardcore, so I drank this with coffee.
It's reallly only exceptable if you drink Irish Coffees with Baileys and Irish Whiskey.

Bailey's is good and anyone with manliness issues enough to think it's pussy just misses out on a good drink.

Manliness issues can be stilting.

I wish I could hang this on my cubical at work.

Thanks for the new sig.

What is wrong with you?

Evidently, you'll only drink things that taste like shit.

i don't see "giant pussy" as a "bigger problem"

Hey, Finch, cats is hitting on you.

Where did "saved" go?

Shut up you. I like this one better.

What is alcoholism?

As A.A. sees it, alcoholism is an illness. Alcoholics
cannot control their drinking, because they are ill
in their bodies and in their minds (or emotions),
A.A. believes. If they do not stop drinking, their
alcoholism almost always gets worse and worse.
Both the American Medical Association and
the British Medical Association, chief organizations
of doctors in those countries, also have said
that alcoholism is an illness.

What are the symptoms?

Not all alcoholics have the same symptoms, but
many — at different stages in the illness — show
these signs: They find that only alcohol can make
them feel self-confident and at ease with other
people; often want “just one more” at the end of a
party; look forward to drinking occasions and
think about them a lot; get drunk when they had
not planned to; try to control their drinking by
changing types of liquor, going on the wagon, or
taking pledges; sneak drinks; lie about their
drinking; hide bottles; drink at work (or in
school); drink alone; have blackouts (that is, cannot
remember the next day what they said or did
the night before); drink in the morning, to relieve
severe hangovers, guilty feelings and fears; fail to
eat and become malnourished; get cirrhosis of
the liver; shake violently, hallucinate, or have convulsions
when withdrawn from liquor.

My ex tried to make Baileys ice cubes so he didn't water down his drinks. Didn't really work. Just looked like curdled milk half frozen into an ice cube tray.

Also, this reminds me of my honeymoon where I purchased three bottles of Jamaican rum cream. I didn't have any when I was down there, so I figured I'd bring some home. Three bottles... ex drank them all (himself!) within the first week of our return. Fucker.

More likely, can't afford to eat 'cause they expended their pension, veteran diability, or disability on alcohol.

Many more than old veterans and disabled pensioners choose to get loaded rather than eat. Plenty of cool, fashionista working people might choose to buy the blow, chiva, booze, crank, bud, pills... instead of eating, paying the rent, taking care of the parking tickets, calling in sick...

Understood. I was just using the classifications I did as a partial list.

Anyway, I just thought it was funny that the wording of the list of symptoms made it seem as if the fact of intaking alcohol yields an inability -- not a disinclination -- to eat.
