I loved this, the title jumped out at me, and as someone who has battled substance problems, to replace with alcohol ones. It was a must read.

This poem makes me think, and i loved the fact your not glorifying drinking, but showing the dark captivating illusion it can carry.

I have a very short (8 little lines) poem about drinking, :'A Sad Little Theory, To Go With My Sad Little Story', and another poem titled :'The Devil I Hate To Be'. Though not a great as your work, i still like to think that these too carry warnings.

This is a great piece of work and i loved the paragraph you added about the effects, i hope many people read that and take note.

Well done, on a great subject matter.
