"Oh whiskey, leave me alone.
I'm tired and I wanna go home."
xtremely disappointed when, after all his extensive training, bar hopping was not chosen as an event in the 2016 Riolympi
What happened on 4/15/09?
This was written by John McCain after he woke up in Feingold's office covered in glitter and perfume. It had been another night of heavy drinking with his buddy Russ. He decided that it was just one too many self-indulgent evenings, and that they should do something with their careers. The next day, they had their meeting and decided that they should give up the partying and work on campaign finance reform.
The date was written in later to cover their tracks.
I think he means "I'm throwing [up] in the towel."
@ feeling in coherent:
In one of his campaigns, Russ Feingold held up his hand, showing its resemblance to the state's outline, and declared,
"I know Wisconsin like the back of my hand."
It was a wildly popular t.v. spot--and Feingold is a wildly popular figure, not only in Madison but throughout the state.
April 16...my birthday.
I love that scene in Airplane: Ted Stiker: "I have a drinking problem" (and the drink misses his mouth and onto his forehead).
Dude..A.A. meetings = no drinking, not 'stopping for awhile.'
(of course, if you meant another sort of meeting, then never mind).
hey Erp--you a cheesehead?
Me, too.
I don't drink and drive.
I like to do all my drinking before I drive.
I have cut my drinking his half.
I don't use mixers anymore.
I joined Alcoholics Anonymous...
I still drink but nobody knows who I am...
Sounds like he/she should've been going to meetings all along...
I grew up around alcoholics. It's always "for awhile." Some manage to stay clean, but only some. In my experience, for the others, any excuse is a good one to start again.
In a large family of 10 siblings, two were alcoholics (along with other addictions--not just substances but gambling, spending, and lying), while the majority were totally abstemious. Me, I can take it or leave it alone. I like the occasional beer or a glass of wine if I'm out for a meal, but that's all it is--an addition to the meal. I guess I'm lucky.
On the other hand I despise films that make "comedy" out of drunkenness. It's not funny to watch. It's even less funny to live with.
Wah. Debbie Downer. This isn't a support group. I despise people that make "misery" out of finds. It's way less funny to live with.

i heart the onion. it's the daily show for people that read.
If YOU are throwing in the towel, why do WE have to go to a meeting??
sick in tired: I hear you.
There isn't much out there that excludes drinking/drunkenness as a source of entertainment.
On the other hand, a friend of mine just returned from Burning Man and stayed in a clean and sober camp. Way to go!
Good luck and best wishes, Feingold. Hope you've still stopped for awhile. ODAT!
@ just me...the highly in quisitive one:
Yep. (Wearing a t-shirt that says "We'll never forget you, Brent.")
Ohhhh sick in tired.. that explains soooooo much.
