Alcoholism

 

 

 

As most people know drinking can cause problems in life and love.

Are you an alcoholic, do you know someone close to you who is?

What I would like to see here are poems on alcoholism, or poems

related to the suffering it causes. How has it affected you?

    You ended this contest before most of us could even learn the name of a good brand of whiskey! HECK! Oh well, I like flavored water best anyway.
