Wine

What ever happened to the good old-fashioned wino? I mean, nowadays everyone (with a vice) seems to be a "head"--like a crack head or a meth head or anything like that. What about us winos? I like wine (red preferably) and I drink it a lot. Even in New York City's posh cocktail circle, those of us who like to drink are called alcoholics or lushes. Man!! And that's usually associated with the hard liquor drinkers. Maybe wine is in such an echelon that even to drink as much as one wants, there is still the air of snootiness. I even get weird looks with my wine glass in a bar and everyone else is throwing down shots and beers... And don't get me started on the different "kind" of drunks there are. Like the beer drunk: wet and sloppy, you slur and fight. Vodka drunk: Well, we all know about that. Ask your vodka drinking friends in jail or even do them a favor and cockblock that nasty hookup they seem to land at the end of the night. Whiskey drunk: Fight. And then puke. Rum drunk: Dance and make out. Tequila drunk: Now this is a little tricky. If you drink Cuervo, you are guaranteed your own version of that story that starts out, "I CAN'T drink tequila anymore because..." But if you drink a GOOD tequila, you dance and make out, like rum. Gin drunk: Crazy and destructive. Wine drunk: Merry, playful, tell good stories and then you fall asleep. What more could you ask for?
