Went to the movies Friday. You know what that means? A trip to the 7-11!!! For cheaper candy of course. So I go... Milkyway, fastbreak, liter of soda and.... Mystery skittles. We watch the movie. We come home. Next day rolls around, and I open my bag of skittles. I pick out 5 matching colored spheres and pop them in my mouth BAM! phenomena of craving. "soak these in some vodka over night... Might make these better" now... I can deal with being sober. I can deal with being clean. But skittles?really? Does my addictive mind have to ruin all pleasures. I'm gonna learn to eat skittles 0% abv. God can have my defects, take credit for my assets, but he cannot have my skittles.

It's just a thought...we have all sorts of crazy ones. I know you are mostly joking but some folks get irked by those thoughts. For example: I stopped drinking before they came out with these new aluminum bottles of beer that look more like a bottle than a can. I was thinking, "hey, I gotta try that and see if it makes the beer taste better." Um....no. As if it would anyhow... And I don't even like beer. WTF?

I started drinking beer toward the end because I THOUGHT that would keep me from drinking so much, or getting SO drunk at least. I still got really drunk - only I got fat too. Luckily that beer wait goes away easily once you stop drinking! ; P

Ah yes... Beer vs. Vanity... Beer makes me have to pee all the time, I get bloated and I fear gaining weight. Thank god I never have to drink again :) glad you lost your beer belly

Nice analogy Neophyte (LOL). I have a similar problem with ice cream. If you take away my ice cream, well, someone's gonna pay.
I still sometimes say to myself, 'wow, Iguana flavoured cream soda cocktails striaght from the bottle, I wonder........' yes there are lots of flavours I haven't yet tried, but if they got alcohol in 'em, well forget it.
Sure i miss the intensity of Limoncello - but by god did it pack a puch, after the first sip, you couldn't taste the stuff anyway - I really did like the taste of so many alcohol based drinks, but after the first, well hell, I'da sucked my own vodka vomit through a shitey cloot (as they say round here) to get the hit.
Anyway, a little joke for you, very adaptable too.
An English MP was enjoying a round of Golf at a small golf course in West Scotland, when feeling dreadfully thirsty, he knelt by the side of a small stream to cup water with one hand to his mouth.
a local golfer called to him 'Haw son, dinnae drink th' watter, 'tis foo o coo shite and pish...'
The MP turned and called, 'excuse me my good man, I'm the conservative member of Parliament for Richmond, North Yorkshire. I'm an Englishman and would appreciate it you would repeat that which you so rudely called out, slower and in the Queens English!'
whereby the local called to him, 'good sir, use both hands, you'll spill less that way'
