They ramble on about nothingness. An act as if they are the coolest people on earth. Alcohol is an arrogance inducer.

It is difficult coping with a whole family of drunks, especially when they get together. It would’ve been easier to stay drinking but I’m so glad I quit more than 20 years ago. Wouldn’t trade that clarity for anything in the world.
