That is something I often say...
My poison is wine. I love it. As of late, my "poison" of choice is Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio.
"There are days when solitude, for someone my age, is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall." - Colette
