+*+*+ Champagne bubbles, tickle my nose, they also make me giggle. Whenever I drink, two glasses or more, my hips sway and wiggle. I'm often told, that I can't hold, my beer, or wine or liquor. I get giddy or sad, or happy or mad, and my speech becomes much thicker. So, I must abstain, from drinking again, I will never be a boozer. I'm not woman enough, to hold the stuff, I guess I'm just a loser! +*+*+  [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (09-21-2003 02:13 AM).] |

 (smiles) Maybe, but you are a good and wise loser! (angel hugs) Nope, you are a big winner as I am zero-tolerant on drinking too and believe our bodies and souls are too precious to be slowed with the slow poisons! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, nope, it's tea, Pepsi, and huckleberry lemonade for me, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Hi-Q! I got tipsy once in my life--and that was enough for me! It was like self-induced flu! I hadn't eaten all day and then I had 4 drinks over the course of an evening. Man was I sick! Now I may have only a total of 6 glasses of alcohol a year! I actually prefer ice water!--and that hydrates my complexion--instead of dehydrating it! lol Cheers! EA |

Are you kidding...better not to drink than to do something you might regret and blame it on the alcohol...James |

James ~ Yes! I most definitely am kidding! I was just being fascetious! lol As a nurse, I have treated and counseled many alcoholics when I worked in psychiatry. Alcoholism is a heart-breaking, and debilitating disease. EA |

I've never seen a 'pretty' or 'dainty' or 'handsome' drunk. Feeling all soft and loose inside doesn't always translate to the outside, and in fact, its quite the opposite. If we could all have a motion picture of our antics when intoxicated, I think we would rethink! Great poem. ~ becky /f |

Susan ~ Oh, isn't it just the worst?!? I was sick for 2 whole days not long after I became of age to drink--on 4 drinks on an empty stomach! I'll never revisit an experience like that again! It's water on the rocks for me!--and if truth be known, I prefer the water! lol Moderation is the key!--as it is in everything in life! Linda |

Giggling with this one Linda! I can't hold mine either and ever since I stopped smoking, I can't stand the taste of any of it! Guess in my mind, cigarettes and booze go together! Oh well!! Huggles, Marti |

Hiya, dear Twisted Sister! How've been holdin' up?!?  Since you quit puffin' away on cancer sticks, booze doesn't taste quite the same! lol Got those little taste buds back into shape and they are wreaking havoc with your drink and food choices! What tasted great, now tastes awful!--and what tasted awful, now tastes great! lol Enjoy your vegetables! Sister hugs, Linda |

"libationally challenged" too funny.. One time I had 23 rum and cokes, fell face first in a parking lot, attacked some guy then the next morning my roommate tells me milk will help...yes..it helped me run for the bathroom right in the middle of morning muster in uniform.... it's all very sad really... |
