What can I say? I never got around to it! And since opinions on this novel are mixed, anyway . . . but I recently read Laing's 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 , so that will add a fresh take on Fitzgerald's motives (and addictions)!

Alcohol: No amount of drinking is healthy!

Brad Pitt just started drinking again. The media, probably sponsored by the alcohol industry, is promoting the idea that resuming drinking alcohol might not be so bad.

This is insidious #propaganda !

If you are an #alcoholic , stay strong! Do NOT drink.
I am proud of you for staying sober.

I was not an alcoholic, and didn’t drink much. I had a drink, and then quit drinking, on a whim, 3 years ago. Now I feel no urge to drink. As a surprising side-effect, my thinking has improved, a lot! I want to stay smart.

“a 1978 Department of Health, Education and Welfare report of #alcoholism concludes that alcohol is ‘indisputably involved’ in the cause of several types of cancer. Among these are "cancers of the mouth and pharynx, larynx . . ."
