    Walter, what’s a teetotaler?

  3. Michael Smith on November 29th, 2008 at 7:52 pm

    I’m polishing off a bottle of wine I can’t afford. Does that answer the question?

    I’m a teetotaler, but it depresses me, so I drink.

    Um, uhn-uh.

    Prolly oughtta be tho.

    The morning after a night of over-indulgence, from 9am to 3pm or so.

    If that’s your passive aggressive way or asking me if I fell off the wagon last night and the night before and the night before, I don’t appreciate it.

    I never made a deliberate choice of anything, but it kind of looks that way…

    I am lately, but I’m thinking of taking my boss out later this week for hammertime. Six dollar pitchers of anything on tap, with some solid regulars and some scrumptious rotators and seasonal selections, you can’t go wrong.

    As long as there in Gin on the shelf, no!

    I did however last year go two weeks without alcohol due to a double dose of antibiotics. The world was a strange and wonderful place – I have never felt so awake! A truly odd experience that I don’t wish to repeat for a while.

    The other side to it that I found interesting was the ritual of drinking and how I associate it with very specific times of day, and how once that time had passed I was quite happy without it.

    28 day’s is the longest I’ve gone without alcohol in 19 years!! and thats only because I’m stuck on a dry ship (sometimes) for a month.

  12. Sheila Ryan on November 30th, 2008 at 9:22 am

    I’ve gone seven days. Twice, I think. That makes fourteen. Half of Mike Dougan’s twenty-eight.

    I forget to drink for weeks at a time.

  14. Jonathan McNicol on November 30th, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    Yes, I am.

    And really for no reason other than that I think that most alcoholic beverages taste like urine.

  15. Sheila Ryan on November 30th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

    Jonathan. Jonathan. You realize you have set yourself up for the inevitable question, do you not?

  16. Jonathan McNicol on November 30th, 2008 at 1:06 pm

    Have I not mentioned that I’m a time traveler from the era of Kevin Costner’s Waterworld?

    Okay, they all taste like I would imagine urine tastes. Or they taste like urine smells.

    H’okay?

  17. Sheila Ryan on November 30th, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    Gotcha.

    It’s been a literal-minded day.

    I’m out for a walk to clear my head.

  18. Cindy Scroggins on November 30th, 2008 at 2:59 pm

    If there is one thing that Sheila Ryan is not, it is literal-minded. Thank god.

    I’d rather die than stop drinking.

  19. Sheila Ryan on November 30th, 2008 at 3:05 pm

    Cindy, may I quote you?

    “Spark is the word, Sister.”

  20. Cindy Scroggins on November 30th, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    Bingo!

  21. Amanda Mae Meyncke on November 30th, 2008 at 10:15 pm

    I occasionally forget to drink, but, when I do drink, I drink only Champagne. Only.

  22. Cooper Renner on November 30th, 2008 at 11:09 pm

    I’m totally into tea, but I’m not a teetotaler.

  23. alek on November 30th, 2008 at 11:38 pm

    i would be if there seemed any point, though i like Amae’s ‘philosophy’ reminds me of a friend who said:
    ‘i don’t do winters’
