Vodka Fury

*chuckles* Very good! And that ending? To die for!

when i was a social worker, i had an alchoholic client who had periods of no drink and then one day you'd get to her house and it would be "sprinkled" with coffee mugs half full of water-like substance and always oranges in various states of being peeled close to the mugs. because she thought the smell of orange would conceal the smell of vodka. of course she gave herself away just by doing all that, but i could still smell the alcohol. i remember one particular day when i was trying to convince her to go to the hospital for a few days voluntarily to sober up so we could at least try to get to the bottom of the problem. she was eating a PB sandwich and at one point she said "i don't like you" very passionately and like a petulant child and sputtered peanut butter all over the floor because she was talking with her mouth full. there's a few such memories engraved into my mind.

i prefer a glass of wine. or the very occasional southern comfort with coke. no alchohol in my orange juice please.
