    People say to not drink but what they mean by “drink” is to drink alcohol. It’s not like they’re trying to not drink anything because they’d die from that. Drinking water means drinking water but “drinking” means drinking alcohol. It’s a strange euphemism that I’ve been unable to un-notice.

    Just because I’m drinking while driving does not mean that I’m an alcoholic! I could be drinking water. In this case it’s liquid mercury but there’s no law against that.

    My favorite part of not driving is the drinking. I’m lucky to live around a good train network and even luckier that the shop at the station has a fridge full of beer.
