Seriously, I'm just speculating based on a) history; b) visual evidence
at gigs; c) reports from others at gigs, d) the number of "hard-livin'

young ages; and e) *way* too much experience with alcoholics.
Best wishes for you, and Jaz, and Geordie, etc. I'd prefer nothing else
than that they be healthy and prolific...
