Alcohol is a poison after all. But it also makes you forget.

So though it may give you cancer. It makes you forget that you have cancer.

Out of wine, there's truth,
and in truth, the vision clears,
and when the vision clears
you see a Grand Design.

When you see a Grand Design,
you can understand the world;
and when you understand the world,
you need a lot more wine!

--Stephen Sondheim--
