That was very mind-opening write, thanks!

Could I ask if you drink alcohol? If so, do you experience an alternation in your mood like being more relaxed or having a different perspective on things?

I drink socially. It seems to have pretty typical effects -- less social inhibition and so forth. Why do you ask?
