rfmcdonaldI went to Woody's last night to meet with a friend. Fun was certainly had, and I managed to stagger south to the westbound Queen Street streetcar in due time and walking in a straight line, no less. I did feel the mildly dissociative feeling associated with the intake of three beers on an empty stomach, granted, but it wasn't too bad even though I think I'm starting to notice my mild hangovers for the first time.
One thing I've never quite understood about alcoholic beverages in society, on a related theme, is how people feel at all able to use inebriation as an excuse ("Honey, I didn't mean to sleep with your mother, it was the demon whiskey"). I wrote last March that while alcohol certainly does enable the id it doesn't create new desires out of wholecloth. I still think that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heraclitus is right about his observation that people who drink excessively simply lack a proper appreciation for the consequences of the stupid things that they do while drunk. The intention to sin, I suppose I might say if I was a believing Christian, is in us already.
