Alcoholic

 

Both the photos above were taken on a Sunday. One in the afternoon & one in the evening. Both of them quickly earned me the title "alcoholic", as I posted them on facebook. It's amazing how much two simple images can put such an imagination into people's head. 

Little did they know, the cocktail (which I loosely called Sangria) had 70% orange juice, apple juice, orange, apple and 30% red wine & Grand Marnier. On Saturday, my sister bought a bottle of red wine, which tasted bad (& had even worse after taste). Instead of forcing it down our throat, I decided to make a cocktail out it. I had two glasses of it, over the period of 3 hours. Later that night, as we were eating in a German Bistro (which played ESPN Live way too loud), I wanted to try a German beer, but unfortunate Belgium won & I had Leffe Blond. Of which, I had a bottle. 

So 2 glasses of cocktail & 1 bottle of beer, had earned me the title "alcoholic".

How often do we assume, without asking the simpliest question?

p/s I am not promoting the consumption of alcohol on a daily basis, but anything done in moderation is acceptable. Many of us (including me), have seen or experienced how alcoholism breaks-up families & destroys careers.
