  Summary

  Mike isn't an alcoholic, at least he doesn't think he is. You don't get drunk just cause you have a sip each morning, right? Or an occasional drink every Saturday. And I mean... can you blame him for getting blackout drank?

  He has been through some stuff, maybe not as much as his friends but...ANYWAY Mike doesn't have time to think when he is laying next to his beautiful boyfriend now, does he?
