And were we ever sitting on a fucking dirty couch watching? Yeah, it's, I think too, like you said, when you talk about the mindset and when you talk about the series of decisions and actions that would lead me to either buying a bottle of hood river vodka or a bottle of Ron's, a cup of rum.
Ever thought you could outsmart your drinking habits by justifying a 'better' way to drink? In this engaging episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', hosts John and Jerry take a candid look at the mental gymnastics we perform to convince ourselves that we can control our drinking.
