In vino, veritas

Drink to celebrate, drink to drown; drink to cheer up, drink to depress; drink to open up, drink to close in; drink to speak your mind, drink to bite your tongue; drink to do, drink to avoid; drink to live, drink to numb life; one man's trash is another man's treasure; in the same vein, each of the preceding are different sides of the same coin; if life didn't have ups and downs you'd never know you were moving; for every occasion, an antithesis exists somewhere. You know, that for every single bottle that occasioned a joyous occurrence for one, one other who was very close was summarily shot down. The irony is that alcohol, a depressant, is being used to celebrate. C'est la vie.
