6. YES! It was at Elaine's xmas party at work...
her boyfriend was...crap...either off or on the wagon. It was never clear to me after George and Jerry had their "off/on wagon" conversation.

4. I think that's off the wagon
I never know whether to picture a little red wagon, or an old west wagon. Either way, I guess you couldn't drink on the wagon.

:shrug:

8. I'm not trying to encourage you (???), but I had to post these lyrics:
L7 Lyrics

Off The Wagon Lyrics


Been dry long enough
My brain and body need some abuse
Rake me over the coals
And I'll try to think of an excuse

I set a goal and it won't be hard
Hit every bar on the boulevard
Bad idea yeah you're probably right
But I won't be your designated driver tonight

'Cause I'm
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon

Just how much I've embarrassed myself
Well I haven't got a clue
Did I throw a drink in your face
Or tell you how much I love you

Oh shit I lost my ID
Hook up the Jagermeister IV
Bad idea yeah you're probably right
But I won't be your designated driver tonight

Off the wagon
I'm off the wagon
I'm on the town off the wagon
Off the wagon wagon wagon wagon - Wee...

Set a goal
Hit every bar
Bad idea
Designated
Alright, alright

Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon

I'm on the town off the wagon
I'm on the town off the wagon
I'm on the town off the wagon
I'm off the wagon wagon wagon wagon

Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon

That's it...

9. Off - now are you asking us to tell you to stop?
A year and a half is really impressive. Are you certain you want to be drinking tonight?

15. Nope, avoid AA like the plague
I've really done pretty well on my own until tonight. And to tell the truth, I don't feel too bad about tonight, but I know I may be kidding myself.

16. AA is for those who can't handle it on their own..... which
in the end includes almost all alcoholics....I wish you well.
