Hey, now. I consider myself somewhat of a writer and I have no difficulty whatsoever staying sober.

it's a chicken-egg problem: are you a drunk because you write? Or are you a writer because you're a drunk? Yeah - there's a long line of addicts and alcoholics that have contributed greatly to the world's literature. But there's plenty of people with zero substance abuse problems who have done the same.

I mine my pits without any augmentation whatsoever. In fact, I've found that the quickest way to annihilate my productivity is imbibing.
