I fully recognize that each of us have different experiences
both personally and culturally.

Someone who's never been around the downside of alcohol and/or drug abuse
can look at a photograph
of an elder gentleman sipping whiskey at a nice bar at 1:00 in the afternoon
and recall pleasant memories.

Others, like myself, recall memories of a very different sort; 
may even be reminded of unpleasant current events in their lives.

As we age our metabolism slows down.
Our balance and reaction times are also affected by the aging process;
I feel a little bit of sadness around these realities.
Adding a 3 or 4 shot lunch to the picture only adds to those feelings.

YMMV.
