Goblets of regal bloodied wine,
Vodka shots in military rows down the bar beside
Acid cocktails with glasses like Hawaii.

He drinks them down in a heady euphoria of
Fermentation. He is loose-limbed and
Relaxed with a poison twinkle in his eye
As he hooks his victim.

A slurring mess, falling to the ground
I hold his hand in the hospital
Think I watched him kill himself
While he was blind, and busy

Shooting himself down with tequila.

I really liked this... "Think I watched him kill himself
While he was blind, and busy
Shooting himself down with tequila."

Excellent word choice and an origional way of presenting the bout with booze.

Very well done my friend

Dom, lots of smooth phrasing and vivid imagery in this one - alcohol and it's environs is burnt into our senses and psyche from such a young age, and the suicidal drunk in this piece is all too familiar.

Touching and powerful. An event often witnessed that leaves those left in the wake feeling powerless. Well written
