In my opinion, you have turned a stereotype on its head by casting a darker light on what could be called the "underbelly" of the bar scene, meaning "drinking establishments", where people go mostly to "drown their sorrows", at the very worst. Painting the lyrics in near-suicidal sounding shades of the blues as you did exposes the idea of "getting tanked", or "tying one on", or "getting s**t-faced", or any of the other ways of describing drunkeness, as a basically sad and un-funny activity that mocks the popular image of it. For example, the phrase "happy hour". While you're at your regular neighborhood "watering hole" pouring shots into your craw, you may feel "happy", yes, but what happens when you return home to your family?

Don't know if that's what you intended, but it sure sounded that way to me. Regardless, my hat's off to you, "MarioD".

Caught off-guard,

LOREN


Thanx so much Loren for this.

I did try to exhibit the local bar/pub scene with a ton of smoke, at least in the old days around here, and a local blues band playing while no one was listening and all were drowning their sorrows by getting plastered! Thanx for picking up on that!

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
