Booze

Booze is not the answer. Booze is the question. The answer to that question is 'yes'.

[Gonzo]

Agreed. I was having an existential crisis earlier at the grocery store and left with six 16 ounce beers. Woops. Here's to opening #3, cheers.

There are answers, and then there are brilliant answers.

Obviously, gin is a brilliant answer.

Gin

Originally distilled in Holland. During the 30 years war, British troops were given gin from Holland to keep their morale up - from which we get the phrase "Dutch Courage."

Until 1729, when it was first taxed, British gin was cheaper than beer. It was used by the poor to escape from their woes, and it was common to see gin soaked povertry stricken people lying in the gutter.

I am sure that Jim is more 'civilised' in his consumption.

Just slightly...

Booze is not the answer. Booze is the question. The answer to that question is 'yes'.

Actually, depending on how much you already drank, the answer might be "I've had enough, thanks"

[laklak]

Booze is the answer, but I've forgotten the question.

[Svartalf]

Booze isn't the answer to your problems, then again neither are water, milk, or fruit juices.

[Gonzo]

sangria...... is a fuckin' alchy

Booze is not the answer. Booze is the question. The answer to that question is 'yes'.

The question is far more complex.

"Is that a single?"
"On the rocks?"

You can't just say "Yes", or you might end up with beer.

Booze is a bad answer.

Sometimes.

Especially if a cop asks you why you were speeding.

Reality is an illusion produced by a deficiency of ethanol in the bloodstream.
