I know for a fact that there are very many hard core drunks
in the Ocean State. And just about every guy and gal leaving a bar
around midnight is more than legally drunk. Drunkenness in Rhode
Island, I suspect, accounts for no small percentage of the already
DENSE population. It definitely increases the number of cretins per
square yard in the Greater Providence area - and no doubt helps
to replenish the prison population.
This week irresponsible journalism tells us how good
booze is for our hearts - the more regular drinking the better !
And how many broken hearts does regular drinking account
for ? How much avoidable misery ?
I have a friend who was a regular drinker. In fact
how convenient it was for him to rent a room above the old Gaspee
Lounge in Pawtuxet. Today his heart is ticking as well as ever.
But years ago he was told he had the liver of an 80 year old man.
And have you noticed that YOUTHFUL look in regular boozers ?
Next thing they'll be telling the ladies how good male
semen is for their complexion !
Can't decadence just be an end in itself ? Just
ANYTHING to get us through the day or the long dull nights !
