March is Question Month

I know not why, but this is the month to ask questions. As was the case last year, I shall attempt to respond ^honestly and in verse^ to any questions you pose to me honestly and in verse.
Ironically, the first question I answered last year, from
peregrin8, was 'Do you ever think about quitting drinking again?' I replied:
I drank a bit last night. Three pints of stout,
Two steep shots of tequila, and some piss
(Figurative, alas) occasioned doubt,
As ever drinking do, re the abyss.
It’s been five years since my last month-long break
And doubtless would my liver bless me madly
Were I teetotalage to undertake
Anew. Yet as regards behaving badly,
I’m happy I no longer drink till mean
And rarely to the point of smoking crack;
I think this indicates that I have been
Improving, not in temperance, but in knack.
So while I’m sometimes tempted to go dry,
Yet there but for the grace of me go I.
As of today, I've gone without a drink for one full week. Woohoo! And goddammit.
