Abusive behaviour?

Today's newspaper headline tangent -- "Alcoholism down, alcohol abuse up."

How do _you_ abuse your alcohol? Beat it? Subject it to sleep deprivation? Sexual humiliation? Forcing it to wear silly little paper umbrellas? Or is it strictly verbal abuse for you -- demeaning, finding fault, shouting, cursing?

I think I'll open a shelter for abused alcohol -- fine single-malts preferred. And then there's all that brandy burned alive by French chefs....

On a lighter note, saw a bald eagle cruising down the river when I went for my morning walk to get said newspaper. And no skunks.
