Who knows how much money was spent to produce this steaming pile of crap (this is another federal government gem by the way). I think, by these criteria, we are all 'at risk for alcoholism'. What I want to know is, what is my risk, exactly, and how can I prevent alcoholism from happening to me? I mean, it sounds like it's catchin'.

ReplyDeleteYou talk to someone who knows, and often-it isn't your Dr.
C,
ReplyDeletelet me rephrase... it seems to me from this poster that the only way for me not to be 'at risk' for alcoholism is to be 'depressed or anxious' if i'm NOT drinking.
In the 80's, the USAF told us that denial of alcoholism was a sign of alcoholism.
ReplyDeleteThis critereon.
ReplyDeleteThese criteria.
Wacked grammar makes me depressed and anxious, before, during and after I drink. ;-] Still, it's after 5 somewhere!
grammar updated and many thanks... sloppy.
ReplyDeleteand dear sevesteen... didn't you know that denial of a disease or condition is the surest sign of the condition? 'i am not a witch' for example... witch. 'i do not have and std'... got the hi-v fo' sure. etc...
substitute the word "work" for "drink" and you might have something there...:)
ReplyDeleteTake a sailor's advice: Drink only in places who have pretty naked ladies on view. This gives the mind other things to dwell on while you drink
ReplyDelete@CJrun -- one criterion, not one "critereon". Wacked spelling would make me depressed and anxious, before, during and after drinking, but fortunately I am too depressed and too drunk to notice. :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's this other government ad that I can't stand. The "father" character in the ad is talking to his 2-year-old son about cars and colors. Parents are encouraged to follow his example and to talk to their kids and read to them, because it promotes language development.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much money was wasted on it. Really, what idiot doesn't just know this??? And which deadbeat parent is going to suddenly become enlightened and change his stripes from hearing this ad? What an utter waste of airtime.
When you wake up hungover, with no eyebrows, and a dead transvestite midget in a sailor suit lying next to you, you might wanta cut back a little...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the "Rockers against Drugs" ("RAD" get it?)spots where goody 2 shoes like Steve Tyler & Vince Neil said Drugs & Alcohol weren't part of there everyday life, y'know, just for the weekends...
ReplyDeleteDammit! (<-- see what O did there?)
ReplyDeleteDagnabbit!
ReplyDelete@ Frank: Damn ..another "who are you and where are we"? morning! At least you're a southerner so it's pretty certain to be warm out...
