I'm tripping on cough syrup, ask me anything.

Man, he's bummed out because his girlfriend dumped him and freaked out because his whole life is about to change. Maybe give him 36 hours before "GET THERAPY".

Yes, but there are rules.

Bourbon & Hank Williams, Sr.  <--- Recommended for busted hearts.

Would you have seen Johnny Cash swilling cough medicine?  Humphrey Bogart?  I just can't see him chugging theraflu in Casa Blanca.

I mean, if you're going through a heartbreak, you can at least show a little respect for tradition.

We're talking about the rave generation, here. Club kids. We're lucky he didn't put on a fur leotard, turn off the lights and dance in the dark, crying, clutching his glow-sticks and suckling a pacifier.

We have no evidence that he didn't, now that you mention it.

That's very true... and very suspicious, now that you mention it.

I find it rather odd that he hasn't denied it.  It does raise some questions.

Dok,
Not above using the Truther's schtick.

Johnny Cash WAS a notorious pill-popper, actually.

And Bogey liked to snort ground-up feline anal glands.

Also, paying a shrink thousands of dollars to achieve the same effects as can be had with a week-long bender and some maudlin music is kinda stupid IMO.

Have you seen this film?

Sounds like it's time for you to take a "Vacation" Bruce McCulloch style.

Getting wasted can sometimes be really good therapy in itself.

This is categorically false and very, very bad advice. 

Just sayin. 

[East Coast Hustle]

Oh, come on. We're (mostly) all adults here. We can make those decisions for ourselves.

Anyway, no matter what your professional purview, you really can't say that unless you've tried it yourself a few times.

[East Coast Hustle]

And saying it's "categorically false" is bullshit. If it's worked for even one person, then it cannot, by definition, be categorically false.

I have to disagree, here.  Sometimes getting looped can straighten you up quite a bit.

Not if it's done regularly, mind you.  I think we all know the health hazards and dangers involved in that.  But once in a while, getting smashed can let you vent frustrations like nothing else can.

Hank was a pill head, too.  Doesn't mean it doesn't work.

I never said it didn't, though I myself prefer tequila over xanax.

The traditional drink of broken hearted fools is whiskey.  Any kind except rye (Unless you're Canadian, but they don't have actual emotions anyway.  They're like chickens or parakeets.)

[LMNO]

Why not Rye?  I love that stuff.

[Doktor Howl]

Why not Rye?  I love that stuff.

You, sir, are a philistine.

[East Coast Hustle]

I cut myself off from Bourbon. you know how, for some people bourbon is "fight in a bottle"?

and for some people, bourbon is "naked in a bottle"?

for ECH, bourbon is "naked fighting in a bottle".

[LMNO]

Why not Rye?  I love that stuff.

Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds and I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
It's a whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, but I love you for all and...

It's a whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I will die

It's Beefsteak when I'm hungry rye whiskey when I'm dry
Greenbacks when I'm hard up, heaven when I die
I'll go tea and a holler and I'll build me a still,
I'll give you a gallon for a five dollar bill.

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up
Now the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a duck
I'll play Jack O' diamonds and trust to my luck

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If whisky don't kill me, I'll live till I die
