Ah the demon drink! I poured myself right into bed..Been there! Alas the hangovers as you get older don't need as much fuel. I would have gone to the shops and bought some to set me up to write the poem.Cheers!

One glass is all ever usually drink, but sometimes the urge for more is there in the last sip. Thank you for the great review. Gretchen

I can relate to this, I have been there, well written and a pleasure to read, sometimes things happen and the odd glass helps.....

One glass is really all I ever need, but that memo doesn't usually reach my brain until I'm into the second. Thank you for the great review. Gretchen
Comment from Bill Schott
This is a better way to use your brain cells than to give them a one-way ride on the wine wagon. Alcohol, in any form has no redeeming value, except here, in the printed word. Good choice.

I think I was just too lazy to go to the store. It's tourist season now so everything is always crowded. LOL. thank you for the wonderful review. Gretchen
Comment from Joan E.
The wineglass picture is intriguing. Thanks for your notes of context--you successfully captured cause and resulting hangover. I especially liked "I poured myself right into bed." Cheers- Joan

Comment from Joyce Crowe
Nice teaching poem and interesting way to convince yourself to make the right choice about drinking on a work night. it might not have been too bad if you stopped at the first drink, but some people don't know how to stop.

Comment from MelReyn
That wine in the picture is some funky looking wine. ;)
I only drink socially, maybe once a year or so. But when I do... oh my. I definitely regret it later. Coffee and greasy food does the trick for me. :) Joel has an even harder time. He picks on me about my 'young liver.'
This is a fun poem, I'm glad I read it!

Comment from Ridley Williams
That, my dear , is a completely original thought. It never occurred to me I might avoid the hangover, if I just wrote about it! As far as feedback, one author I'm working with has me eliminating small words by building other words with "ed's" and "ing's". It actually makes a difference. Hope that may help a little. All my best, Ridley

Comment from Curtis Hatch
Gretchen,
The poem is well-written, and the story it tells is clear. Wine may mellow one for a while, but too much of it can cause one to hear their hair growing...or so it seems. Your visual complements to the poem add to it's enticement.

Comment from DanielEkine
Once in a lifetime, we all need a glass of wine to ease the stress away. Great job by the author, for such a reminder.
My best part, "I poured myself another one.
To ease away my stress.
The room it turned
The walls did too."
