"Mad Dog 20-20" lol... takes me back to Jr High... drunk as a skunk, made an ass of myself at school dance with my favorite girl... few yrs later, JD & Sour helped take the right side off my favorite car... gave up Alcohol for good... watched my old man piss away his life & $$$ when i was a kid, struggled in retirement... uncomfortable around drunken fools...
I knew my family history and saw what it did to friends and family around me. I was anti-booze from the beginning. Luckily, Dad stopped drinking when I was young, partly because I didn't like it, and also because he saw where he was going. After WW2 many guys like him that saw combat would "self medicate" and get together with other vets. He saw where many of them ended up. Some on my Mom's side had tragic endings due to booze, I know the gene is in me.
