Dear Alcohol,

First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan
of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there
when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at
the game, and you're even around in the holidays,
hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're
stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings.
However, lately I've been wondering about your
intentions. While I want to believe that you have my
best interests at heart, I feel that your influence
has led to some unwise consequences:

1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that
communication is important, I question the suggestion
that any conversation of substance or necessity takes
place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those
ex-boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they
do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone
all hours of the night?

2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why
do you suggest that I eat a kebab, a butter chicken
curry along with a sausage with cheese, onion and
mustard (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit
Kat after a few sweet chilli and sour cream red rock
chips)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went
too far this time.

3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me
that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I
see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to
fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black
& blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the
next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never
take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key
into the lock.

4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This
is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our
previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the
3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My
entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper
precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread
products, aspirin)prior to going to sleep/passing out
face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn,
the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere
with my daily activities.


Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years
now & would like to ensure that we remain on good
terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the
provocation for much laughter, and the needed
companion when I just don't know what to do with the
extra money in my pockets.

In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you
carefully review my grievances above & address them
immediately. I will look for an answer no later than
Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible
solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful
partnership. Thank you,

Your biggest fan
