Punch drunk

If you drink enough, you stop feeling your skin, and that's a good thing: it is the falling away of the last boundary between the world and your own permeability. Without skin, you're free to melt and meld with the world; your identity is unexpectedly diluted—you're unsure where you end and where the world begins. And that's a good thing. In that moment, through your blurry eyes and stupid tongue, colors are crisper, music is truer, intentions are clearer, and for a moment, if only for a moment, maybe you feel your heart. Maybe you are alive—if only temporarily, and only on account of this gentle poisoning—you are alive. Alive and awash in a sea of nothing.

That's a good thing.
