gonzo-even *I* would quit drinking after I puked. Puking is a sign, dude, a sign to quit.

I wish you luck. You're going to need it.

Gonzo, the writings of Hunter S. Thompson are not a free pass to be an alcoholic. I'll grant that Hunter was a gifted writer who struck a chord with his times. The success of his books and the fact that he was still able to write in a drug and alcohol induced haze allowed him to run with his addictions far long than most people would have been able to. But he was the exception, not the rule. You're young yet. Get into AA while you still have a life left to save.
