I may have had some pretty wobbly moments back in my drinking days, but that was Jack Daniels, not PN. I finally quit – 32 years ago – but only because I was tired of being blotto every night, having no ambition, and just all around feeling crappy. Only a few months ago, while talking to my neurologist's MA, I was asked something I thought was rather spooky. As we were ending my visit, she asked, "Were you once a heavy drinker?"
