      I’m a recovering alcoholic with close to 30 years sobriety now … and the idea of drinking excessive amounts of any liquid will always be funny to me now … or to want to drink liquids like some sort of ritual.

      If you drink 6 litres of beer in a day in front of others and get blind drunk … you’re a party animal

      If you drink 6 litres of water in a day in front of people … you’re a weirdo

      Or you can sit at a dark dingy bar and sip on scotch or whisky for hours on an afternoon and it’s normal

      But if you sit in a dark dingy bar and sip on a glass of orange juice for hours on an afternoon … people think there’s something wrong with you.
