I have learned distrust. I distrust anything that makes me feel good without having achieved something that merits that sensation.
Alcohol is like being wrapped in a comforter. You are warm, the world is soft, and like a child, you trust in everything turning out alright.
This has no relationship to the real world.
While I have enjoyed alcohol many times, and both drunk to excess and been a social drinker, I find that it distracts me. It distracts from what I should be paying attention to, while I'm busy feeling good and safe.
