================================================ Subject: Re: [omcf] Re: ncr: really random question From: "Alexis M."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't someone considered an alcoholic after they've had MORE than one drink? Rather than considered one before the first? And hey, it's EASY to put the first one down [on the table]. KEEPING it down is the harder thing. I wonder if they can come up with a hypnosis thing where there's the words "alcohol is bad" spinning round and round and everytime the person thought about drinking he'd slap himself. Would that actually work? I wonder.... As for creed-related..........ummm............ok I can't relate a story about creed to this. Other than what's been mulled over in the past.
