to love it or hate it

Dear Alcohol,

First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours.

As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect

post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around in the

holidays, hidden inside chocolates and eggnog as you warm us when we're

stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings.

However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want

to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your

influence has led to some unwise consequences:

1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important,

I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or

necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those

ex's when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me

during the day, let alone all hours of the night?

2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that

I eat a donner with chili sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and

some stale chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat

after a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater,

but I think you went too far this time.

3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do

more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home

by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black &

blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond

me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the

front door key into the lock.

4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting

ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's

debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is

completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the

proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin)

prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with

a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities.

Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like

to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great

stories,the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when

I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In

order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my

grievances above & address them immediately.

I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on

your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful

partnership. Thank you,

Your biggest fan
