With about 6–8 prolonged exceptions, I’ve been a boozehound most of my adult life. In the process of being said boozehound, I believe you could count my losses as:

  • One marriage
  • Probably 20–25 friendships, some stronger than others ( ** I do maintain some of that was life stage and distance, however **)
  • The quality of my sperm
  • One messed-up Honda Pilot
  • One DUI that got wiped (Connecticut)
  • One time waking up in Coney Island at 3am having no idea where I was (I was on the subway)
  • A few other indignities, often hard to list

I write about a lot of different topics, from work to masculinity to relationships and social dynamics, I.e. modern friendship. Pleasure to be here.
