Hello. My name is Al K Hall and i’m an alcoholic.
For those of you who don’t know me, i’m your Functional Alcoholic Slurperson; i’m the founding member of Drunks Really Involved Now Known as Exiles Reunited and i’m the father of D-Generation (Drink Generation). i am also your tender bartender here in The Bar None, so pull up a stool, make yourself at home and what can i get you to drink?
For those of you who do know me, i’m back from all my vacations, both the one i took from work and the one i took from sobriety. Both of these began not so much with a bang but more a blowout—ones that left me with hangovers only suicide could cure and if you don’t believe me you can ask Miss D (that’d be Miss Demeanor, still my fiancée, for those of you new to the stools) who had to suffer through them, too. On the other hand, in between those bookend in binges i drank volumes but didn’t binge and was able to provide my beloved and betrothed a kick ass staycation.
Now i’m back behind The Bar None, ready to regale you with the sex, drinks and rock ‘n’ roll you’ve come to expect. i missed you guys and i’ll post as often as i can but, just like the picture, i can’t offer assurances.

Thank Christ you’re back Al. The Bar None wasn’t running well without ya! I tried to serve my own alcohol, but it wasn’t the same. I left the money on the till.
Bring on the sloppy drunk goodness.

Rodney! Brother!
Yeah, the drinks tasted different ’cause i add my own special sauce to the ones i serve the regulars…
Thanks for the cash, next round’s on the house for your honesty
Here’s to some more of that sloppy drunk goodness for ya.
Thanks for patronizing me,
Al K Hall

Some Peron Silver to celebrate your return and a dos equis chaser, because I don’t always drink beer, but when I do I prefer mexican horse piss (not).

Ken! Hey there, Brother.
Settin’ up the Peron Silver and the dos equis are on me, because it’s not often i have the chance to have mexican horse pee on me.
Live the dream,
Al K Hall

We had a rockin’ staycation, my dear, and I’m grateful that we had it that way! I’m glad you got your first blowout out of the way early on, and that I was absent for the second (heh!). It made me really see why they call things “sobering” when reality hits: I know you were feeling bad and then feeling bad about feeling bad, which led to more feeling bad. Seems you are learning that sometimes it is just *not* worth it, huh. I’m still learning that, too.
Anyways, I hope that with all the writing you have been doing that you can upkeep this site, too. I know you have had fun here the past year that you have been the FAS of DRINKERs.
Toasting you with a glass of Coke Zero, my love.

I was beginning to think the BarNone was “just another dead soldier in a powder blue night.”. Glad I was wrong.

Whoa! Brother! i had no idea you were even hanging out around here. One more reason to keep this shit up.
Thanks for patronizing me, man,
Al K Hall
