I’m having this discussion about alcohol and the guy I’m talking to doesn’t seem to think it makes sense like I think it does. I guess I believe in mind over matter. He’s drinking and the vodka isn’t getting him drunk. And I said maybe he wasn’t letting it. Maybe half of all drunkenness is a state of mind. Not of pretending, but of letting down the barriers in your mind so the alcohol can be in charge for a while. So you don’t have to be. There have been times I was very drunk and needed to be sober fast. And it happens. You can do that. If your mind is strong enough.
