Understanding Alcoholism

9

The drunken monkeys of St. Kitts provide us humans with a spooky parallel – some are tee-teetotalers, many drink moderately, but “5% drink to the last drop”…

What sort of monkey are you?

“Throw all the beer and spirits into the Irish channel, the English Channel, and the North Sea for a year, and people in England would be infinitely better. It would certainly solve all the problems with which the philanthropists, the physicians, and the politicians have to deal.”
- William Osler

    Brilliant! I have been receiving sale alerts from NY to St. Kitts and momentarily considered a winter rendezvous. I’d love to have my pina colada jacked by a monkey! I might reconsider a trip now :)

    While in and out of consciousness on night owl shift, viewed great programme about history of alcohol and psychedelics. English settlers started to abuse cider. This caused apples to be viewed as evil and all apple trees eradicated. I tells you dem apples is da devil! :P

    Forgetting well is just as important as remembering well. After seeing one thousand plus faces on daily shuffle do you choose to remember of forget? I hope you can forget. If not, don’t let too many people know. They couldn’t handle a professional person telling them they see one thousand plus faces a day times for as many years they have been conscious. Never mind…you are in Perth, that will reduce face count to about ten a day ;P

    Usually made with apples but when in the Pen they hide pieces of fruit in crevices you never even knew you had. Pruno… when only the best grog will do and may God have mercy on your soul!
