Doing anything to excess is not having your ducks in line. There is no way you can keep drunk or drugged ducks in a row.
Is there more to having your ducks in a row than that? I am sure that there a many opinions on this subject depending on your standards and belief system. And that is the point I am making:
You need to have your ducks in a row, but what should your row look like. Do you think that we should follow someone else's idea of a duck row? Or do you think it is your farm and it should be your choice?
As for me personally, it is MY FARM. My ducks are in a row.
HOWEVER.....
