    Literally, this reminds me of my drinking career. It began with wine splashing, glasses tinkling, people laughing, nights and days of carefree abandon. It ended all too briefly (7 years) with all the "coquetry and charms" gone. Drinking ceased to be fun, yet there I sat at the tiny bar table night after night.
