Melancholy in check

It’s difficult to keep my melancholy in check…particularly with wine in my bloodstream. I wonder why that happens. Tequila, whiskey, vodka, beer…I’m fine. But if I overindulge in wine, I pass the point of laughter and fall deep into a well of self-pity. It’s not pretty. Sigh. Thank goodness it doesn’t continue after the alcohol dissipates.
