        <![CDATA[ (I wanted to make my own New Topic.)

Four ante meridiem is my favorite hour lately -- especially if the weather is rainy.

It doesn&#39;t occur daily, but when it hits me, either calm or violent, it repeatedly seems to end up as my favorite point of cyclic existence. ]]>

With your drinking levels it is unlikely you&#39;ll cope without any kind of sedation. Unfortunately it&#39;ll probably be bad no matter what... I really wish

my inhibitions about drinking.</p>

<p>After lots of heck-ish effort and my sleeping pills wearing off, the breathalyzer test results are: 0.30%. (I didn&#39;t realize I could still be having the

It was an alcohol breathalyzer.

Then I drank until I was &quot;happy&quot; --- where the device apparently doesn&#39;t measure past 0.40% BAC.
