What to look for in winter

There's a new memoir out there about alcoholism. I haven't read it, but she says this:

Alcohol tells you that you need a drink at four in the morning. It then tells you that you need to sick up that drink to get the way clear for the next drink. You obey it and you sick up blood. In the end your ears, nose, eyes and mouth are streaming blood. You shit blood. You piss blood.

Pretty powerful stuff. It looks like I'm getting a new book.
