Reading this reminds me of the 1998 movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," and what it says in the form of a quote from Dr. Samuel Johnson about getting so intoxicated that you're out of control: β€œHe who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”

Ahh, Devil ether. "At first, it’s just cool, joyous and freeingβ€”until it isn’t anymore."

Glad to hear that you're sober JHC! TV may be soporific, but some movies are fun even when sober! I promise.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I've been clean for more than a decade now and I don't miss it much. The only thing more boring than a golf conversation is a wine conversation.

Congratulations!! There are some great, funny movies about golf and wine. They're certainly more fun to talk about :)
