>Hi, John. I just read your email and it sounds to me that you're
just making excuses to keep up your drinking. I can't applaud you
for cutting your drinking in half. You should'nt be drinking at all.
I know it's easier said than done, but you're only on this earth for
a sort period of time and you better make the best of it. That spark
in your brain isn't going to last long if you keep it up. Please get
help.  - Heather.
