    Brings to mind an old saying that goes eat, drink and be merry.
    Now it is eat, drink and be careful! Enjoyed this one even
    though i don't drink. Thanks for sharing.

    So true. I have been a drinker in my time and I know how much I became dependant on it. Thankfully those days are long gone. A good write. Thanks.

    An interesting poem, why we drink, I enjoy a couple of glasses of wine to help me wind down, but my downfall is not knowing when I've had enough lol
    10 for this
