Insanely Trivial Excuse
But there was always the curious mental phenomenon that parallel with
our sound reasoning there inevitably ran some insanely trivial excuse for
taking the first drink. Our sound reasoning failed to hold us in check. The
insane idea won out. Next day we would ask ourselves, in all earnestness
and sincerity, how it could have happened.
