The Dipsomaniac

“I’m warning you now, Jimmy. I’m going to be cruel and I’m going to tell you this. If your drinking continues, I won’t be able to continue this friendship. If your indulgence makes you ill, I won’t come and visit you. If you drink yourself to death, I won’t attend the funeral. Do something else with your life, Jimmy, please. If you do, you might end up with something better – with something you want.”“I want you,” he lamented, regretting it immediately.“I’m not available,” she replied, meekly.“What if you were?”Sally sighed. “I can’t fall in love with an alcoholic.”
