Question by HoneyLegs: Anyone else tired of the glamorization of alcoholism?
I mean, as a true alcoholic, I can say I am totally fed up with the glamorization of alcoholism.

Nowadays you’ve got every Tom, Dick and Harry going to the bar and sipping Wild Turkey straight up. They go there with their unshaven faces and pick up all the hot chicks that love the manly, rusted around the edges, stuck at the bottom of a bottle guys.

These guys, who are totally stable mentally, are siphoning the small puddles of glamor that remain in my sad, dark, dirty life.

These guys don’t know the first thing about draining sorrows, and fifths at the same time. Why are they picking up my ladies, and turning what should be the rare glamorous alcoholic into a dimestore reject?

I don’t shave, drink whiskey straight, shower only when I’m to dizzy to sleep, and have messy hair when I’m ALONE!!! I also punch walls, and have a heart of gold.

Ladies?

Alcoholism isn’t glamorized. It is cheapened by stereotypes. People think that alcoholics are lazy people who don’t want to work, homeless people who have given up on life, men who want to drown their sorrows in some woman’s “”bleep bleep bleep”", etc… And THAT’S what I’M sick of.
