Stark Reality

(10)

It is now 2345 and my right leg is beginning to itch. Also, I have finished my 12th 3.2 NL. I've been curious concerning how an extended period of sobriety would affect me on these Friday nights and I am happy to report that extended sobriety (three weeks or so) renders 12 cans of 3.2 beer more or less innocuous. This tends to suggest that once a week is too often. Whether I will take advantage of this information remains to be seen, as I am now working on my first shot of Canadian Whiskey.

My impression regarding the value of extended sobriety (three weeks or so) is that it is a very relative thing, ripe with 'good news-bad news.' Can you actually endure three weeks of stark sobriety? Yes you can. Will you like it? No you won't.

Will your CNS benefit from three weeks of stark sobriety? Yes, but the improvement is very subtle. Subtle but solid. In fact, the data suggests that once-a-month might be the ideal interval of inebriation. But this raises the question of whether you can endure it. Can you endure 30 days of stark reality?
