A 'Positively Negative' Ode to Drinking
Why Did We Drink Alcohol, And What Did We Get?

• We drank for joy, and became miserable.
• We drank for sociability, and became argumentative.
• We drank for sophistication, and became obnoxious.
• We drank for friendship, and became enemies.
• We drank to help us sleep, and awakened exhausted.
• We drank to gain strength, and it made us weaker.
• We drank for exhilaration, and ended up depressed.
• We drank for "medical reasons", and acquired health problems.
• We drank to help us calm down, and ended up with shakes.
• We drank to get more confidence, and became afraid.
• We drank to make conversation flow more easily, and the words came out slurred and incoherent.
• We drank to diminish our problems, and saw them multiply.
• We drank to feel heavenly, and ended up feeling like hell.
