    As a solitary drinker for years this song says it all . Nobody to argue with , nobody to see you make a fool of yourself , nobody to embarass yourself with and a bed to crash out on just feet away . Who needs pubs and company ? Add to that good sounds on the stereo and drunken dreams . memories and reflections it beats the crap out of being surrounded by noisy people in a crowded bar .

      @Melancolia One right on brother. To tell you the truth, one of the best things I've done. I just got tired of being hungover pretty much EVERYDAY!!! I definitely do not miss that. Then just feeling run down all the time. And shaking, my God, did I shake!!! Like a 90 yr old man!No $h!t. And the money I spent. If I had the money I spent at bars, I could retire right now!!! But, I did have alot of fun going out, so it wasn't all bad. I don't want cha to think I hated it. But, it just got old. Ya know.
