suffering from alcoholism

He is whisky. He scratches the throat on his way down, maybe even burns it, but when he settles a bit after the initial reaction, a warmness that is worth all the effort prevails. This is not to say that he is unattractive, what am i, blind?? No, as whisky radiates in the glow of a candle so does his face under any kind of light. It is rather the character of whisky that is harsh and biting, and yet this is eventually the cause of it's endearment. It seems to me evident that in his being nonchalant and phlegmatic in most occassions, I find that he has become essential to me and not accidental!!!
