Good news for Rhode Island drunks

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  !
