Two drinks a day. Two drinks a day. TWO DRINKS A DAY! It doesn't work! Not when you want eleven, and not when you start shopping for wine glasses in the vase department at Bloomingdales.

It's very disconcerting to start out and to say, I'm going to tell the truth, and then to realize it's that much trouble.
