I haven't had a drink in a few years. I didn't quit on purpose. One day I just stopped. I was never a big drinker (well, not since my days at the hedge fund) but one drink nursed over an hour at sunset was a fairly regular thing for me

I started taking Ambien a year ago to get regular sleep. It makes a huge difference. Today for no particular reason I googled Ambien and alcohol. I wasn't considering a drink, it was really just curiosity. If I were considering it, I'd text my prescribing physician and have an answer within fifteen minutes

I've known for a long time that search is utterly useless, but holy shit. Used to be you'd get Mayo or Cleveland Clinic or actual research papers. Not anymore

First two pages of hits were nothing but rehab facilities -- Hazeldon type places

The web used to be this amazing thing and now it's just shit. My kids have no idea what they missed out on
