Well to further explain Nietzsche's "God is Dead", he was mostly predicting the eventual death of the God-Archetype, replaced with the ultimate truth of science. (I am sure you already know this and I am just writing to watch myself write). It was a prophecy that as humans became more advanced, had more time to pontificate, more time to scientifically explain the world's mysteries, the God-Being's purpose as the "only answer" would reciprocally fade. Unfortunately, I bet you can turn on the news right now and see just how wrong Nietzsche was. The world is alive with god and his defenders, killing in his name.....Blah. I am ranting.
My poison..hmmm. Well, I have abused many drugs in my day, but drink has always been my go to. If at home, I would go for the rum-and-diet (gotta watch those Kcals). When at the bar, it was usually Scotch on the rocks-no water. Really, I have a drink for every occasion or situation. It was kind of a game--name that drink. Alas, my final months were spent alone with my rum in pure stupor.
