... you people.

Is two bottles of wine too much on a week night? It helps me think of kooky stuff for my kooky job, but I'm kookily afraid I might not live till 40.

Answers on an email.

Also, advertising sucks, but it pays for my booze. What a conunununundrem...

No, two bottles is not too much. Unless it causes to to not be funtional on a regular basis. Part of being a Modern Drunkard is the ability to remain functional.

Well said Bluto. I will start to worry when I can't haul my fat ass to work because of my boozin on a regular basis.

Two magnums might be a problem if you plan on driving in the morning. Two little bottles is just a good night.

I agree with Bluto. And I think being a good, functional drunk is something to be proud of.

Oh hells no. One bottle of vino gives me a mild buzz right on the edge of pissing me off. Two is a perfect, nice mellow drunk.

So, you work in advertising?
If so, then I'd say that two bottles on a weeknight isn't even a proper start, judging by the commercials I've seen lately...
Oh, and I used to be in the direct mail end of that business. My advice is to get out while you still have a soul.

I know this feeling well. My best work is done after a glass or two of anything. Funny enough, I pick up most of my clients/patients from parties. It's a living when the governement actually lets me go back to work.

Hell no it isn't too much!

Wait, you said two boxes, right?

Yeah, I've been thinking that. The thing is, it's not hard, and it's a lot better than my last job. I'm young (-ish: 24), so I only feel like I'm renting my soul. I'll never get branded... That's for account people and management types. I know I'm a copywriting minion, and the minute I hear the words 'creative', 'marketing mix' or - especially, God I hate it - 'synergy', I immediately go to my happy place. And my sarcastic, misanthropic place. They are the same.

I'm working at the retail end too - DM and press ads, nothing 'above the line' (goddam hippies). There are so many ridiculous people, but I like the writers and designers. I'm gathering so much material for my novel/sitcom.

So what was your next move after advertising???

Definitely. Drink can only help. If only I didn't have to drive a long way to work...

What's your kooky job?

I function fine. The thing is, I feel like I can function fine whether I'm at 1/10th strength or all-guns-blazing. Maybe I need a job that needs me to function more, better, more usefully...

I'll worry about that later.
