Illusion: One bar I worked
in sold draft beer cheaper that a glass of soda. The illusion is that it is
cheaper to drink beer. For an alcoholic like me, the illusion is obvious: One
five dollar soda or a three dollar beer turning into a three day blackout-binge.
And the guy who buys the
bar a round of drinks just likes spreading the fun around. Illusion. Usually, he
is a chronic alcoholic who knows, or denies knowing, that misery loves
company.
I deserve a drink:
illusion. What goes up, will come down.
