Nice commentary on the demon.

I wonder why some cannot see the demon.
Arrogance? lack of imagination? or just plain lucky.

I have been drunk, especially in the 7th fleet liberty ports.
Usually after one of those episodes and the nasty next day, I would
stay dry for quite a while.
I understand that an alcoholic does not have that nasty next day.
Don't know if that is true or not.

I am thankful that I am so lucky as to be able to have a Scotch and
Soda or a Drambuie and keep it to a one or two event.

I think our body chemistry sets us up for the various indulgences
that can be toxic. Thrill addicts, Nicotine addicts, Alcohol addicts,
and all the other various habit forming recreational or medical
chemicals.
Maybe it is just a form of population control.
