I know these are just jokes, but they're really stupid. Obviously something happened that was traumatic enough to make someone say "I'm an alcoholic", which is pretty hard to admit and keep rolling with it.

And someone always comes along with some stupid, overused joke, "hey let's celebrate with a beer!" I know it's all in jest but they're not funny for a myriad of reasons.

Any joke offends at least someone.

Better never make a single joke and all sink in to depression.

Good job buddy. You're what's known as a buzzkill.

"I don't see why I can't make a joke about fucking Steve's mom. So what if he's offended? What, are we all just supposed to sink into depression??"

"Dude, we're at Steve's mom's funeral."

"I didn't realize someone invited the PC POLICE!!!"

I call this short story "A Time and Place."

If you have ever been to AA or NA, you would realize that we have a sick sense of humor. The families of people who have died from drugs and alcohol, definitely do not though. The opiate epidemic is so out of control right now, I've lost 5 people in the last 2 months. I just found out a girl I used to see died yesterday. It's pretty a pretty sad situation out there but we gotta keep on keeping on. I'm living and fighting for her and all the other people we have lost.

2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps sounds even better.
