Alcohol

The famous liquid courage

You can either make someone happy

Or make someone sad

You can make someone aroused and wanting sexual intimacy

Or text or call someone from the past

You give people this courage to do things they wouldn’t do while sober

But why

Why only when intoxicated we do these things

Is it because when we are sober we have more of a clear head?

Or because when intoxicated it’s our true feelings coming out?

What is it?!

They say the truth comes out when we have alcohol in our system

But why can’t it just come out while sober

Why do we poison ourselves to do these things

Alcohol you can either make or break things

You give us liquid courage

Sometimes for the best

But other times not so much

But when we do these things

Is it really what we want when we are sober?

We may never know.
