Hypothetically Speaking

Any of you old-​timers remem­ber my inter­view ques­tions from my pledg­ing days? One of my favorites was, “If you were sur­rounded by an infi­nite swarm of five-​year-​old kids, how many do you think you could take out before they over­whelmed you?”

Lately, I’ve been feel­ing like my prob­lems are the infi­nite swarm, and alco­hol is what I’ve been using to push them back. And it works… for a night. Or at least part of the night. But come sun­rise, those munchkins have kicked my ass, with­out fail.

What’s the point? I seri­ously need to stop drink­ing. I no longer have the money or the health to make it work in the long term. Plus, it doesn’t even work that well… “social lubri­cant” my ass. (Wow, that could be seri­ously misinterpreted!)

Any­way, time to pass out. I won­der if I’ll remem­ber this les­son in the morning.
