The most sinister development to date – and is flying neatly under the radar of most of the angling brotherhood.The “anti-addiction” pill is akin to a viral juggernaut, and we sit complacently while our wives, girlfriends, life partners, and significant others, plot our demise.

This is the fate-worse-than-Death, as the pill will likely be sold over the counter, and “Doctor MoM” will be ending all of our “addictions” to Playboy, swearing, Sunday morning football, fishing, and … you guessed it … BEER.

Dubious? Skeptical? Eat this…

“Right now, more than 200 addiction medications are being tested.”

Use your fingers; gambling, drugs, smoking, fast cars, fine scotch, cuban cigars… I’m out of ideas at 7 – leaving 193 unnamed addictions they are already testing.

Left to your “better half” your Sundays will now be filled with drapery treatments, scented candles, and the millinery aisle. You laughed when you made her watch re-runs of the Stepford Wives, now your bamboo rod will be holding up her tomato plants.

“In 5 to 10 years we will be treating addiction very differently” predicts Nora Valkow, a psychiatrist and Director of the institute of drug abuse.”

Ms. Valkow is the great grandaughter of Leon Trotsky, yes – the Leon Trotsky, beer and fishing are toast, apple pie and Motherhood to follow. You’ve been warned.
