Sigh - 73.4% was an exaggeration. But I do know a lot of goths, and many people that are (or have been) on mood stabilising drugs.

i noticed your sigh per reply ratio is up when responding to me...

I think you may be suffering from some form of mood swings, I hear a lot of goths, and many people that are (or have been) on mood stabilising drugs.

73.4%?? really?? Wow! That makes me one of the rare non-sufferers then. (I only get any sort of mood swings when I'm drinking regularly - how long did it take me to figure that one out?? 10-12 years. Idiot!)

I thought you;d done a poll or something to get such a 'precise' figure.

My dad used to get extremely nasty mood swings when he drank beer. Didn't necessarily happen when he was drunk, just when he's been drinking it regularly. One day he hit baby me, and quit drinking it cold turkey.

He's thankful for the non-alcoholic brews they have nowadays, since he does love the taste of beer.

Non-alc alger tastes pretty much like lager. Which is a shame cos I'm not fond of lager. I've never seen a non/low alcohol 'real ale'. Non-alc cider is too sweet, ditto all non-alc "wine".

I think that if there was non-alcohol wine that actually tasted like wine instead of slight off (and usually fizzy!) overly sweet grape juice then I could maybe be happy with that.
