Right. I have always limited myself to 1 drink/day since I started drinking (although I did get drunk once under controlled conditions, so I knew what it was like. I didn't like it.) Having a glass with my evening meal is a mark of elegance to me....
That's a healthy way to do it but it cut's out part of the fun. Although if there are people present I can joke around with, hey, cut me in.
I NEVER drink alone.

Controlled conditions... No car, no travel required. Trusted friends on hand, staying sober, in case I needed some help. Used good quality ethanol, no rotgut. Had a bathtub to sleep in, if necessary.

And finally, a clear plan to drink until drunk and study the sensations along the way...

(Did I mention my undergrad degree is in molecular biology...)

@ralph: Controlled conditions in getting drunk seemed to me a perfect oxymoron. In your case, given your undergrad qualification, much much more oxy than moron ...

But that is just natural, having you had them in controlled conditions ...

If it were practical I am sure that Yvan and me we could show you both with example and your active participation how to have a splendid experience.

No wonder you didn't enjoy it!

Not that I love it that much myself. I got drunk the minimum number of times required from a not particularly wild teenager I guess, then figured out all I had to do was stop drinking when I stopped enjoying it. I like being slightly drunk, 1 or 2 glasses of wine. After that I become uncomfortable, both physically and morally (don't like the lack of control, nor the potential for ridicule).

Well, such performances as are on Youtube aren't his best, but he was know back in the '70 as the most politically incorrect songwriter in America. (and in the '70, that took some doing)

Some of his more notorious songs....

Y le T,

We had a furniture repair guy give us an estimate on fixing some furniture. I know it's not really your area... but close.

He said it would be around $300 to fix and repair some upholstery on our leather sofa that has those built in foot rests that pop-up from the little thingy on the side.

I don't think it was worth the money... so might be getting a new sofa. Can you tell me...

1. Do you think a sofa without the built in foot rests would last longer because they are less complex?

2. Does brand really matter as far as the best made? For example, Lazy-Boy seems so much more expensive that stuff you see a Sears. Granted, I'm sure a $200 sofa is not very well built... Any brands you would recommend.


OH.. what I am doing... trying to determine if a furniture purchase is in my future.

When can you come visit me and build a custom wall unit around our fireplace that can hold our TV.... speakers... DVDs/Video Games and of course some books?

BOb

And Yvan . . .

On your way back from building that unit around BOb's fireplace, can you stop off in TX and build me a custom unit where the wet bar in my living room is? We've never used that thing anyway.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, I'd like a new unit around my fireplace as well . . . or maybe just a new mantle.

Thanks. Let me know when you'll be passing through. We'll leave the light on for ya.
