Deri, I have enjoyed yr. wry sense of humor.

Some of us have a biological addiction to alcohol. It is a real disease.
Like many here, I used to drink at night to destress from school, and because
I was lonely. I don't know if there is a correlation, but I've had depression
since I was nine.  Once I got the depression under control, I no longer
desired alcohol to assist me. I'll defer to the distinguished, dr. greer to
elucidate on this.
