I'm just glad that I quit drinking.I had enough against me as it was.
What idiot said the economy is in recovery...?
More likely alcohol prices have gone up, and, with less people employed now than in 2009, no, there is no "recovery" happening. This is what we call a DEPRESSION.
Democrats have invested heavily in the booze industry and the recovery industry.
despite the "experts", i have not seen any "recovery". everything i see is still going downhill. where is all this recovery happening?
RECOVERING ALCOHOLICS...
We are depressed and drinking more. So we've got that going for us...
