Sometimes all you need is alcohol
As much as I'd like to be one of those people who "don't drink", I have to admit that sometimes it does take the edge off.
For example, I had a terrible day yesterday adjusting to the local Caribbean culture.
I also didn't have a drop of alcohol yesterday.
Today, I started drinking in the morning, as per the advice I got in Reykjavik.
I've had a beer and three mojitos and the best pina colada of my life, on top of which I tried sex on the beach for the first time ever.
Today has also been a very good day.
I'm inclined to assume causation between the two pieces of data.
