When I slip on finding my words and slurr, they see the cane and think "ok, poor dude has problems" and not drunk. So in essence, my cane embarrassment has now become my "explanation" and makes me feel more confident in public.

Please don't worry...they know yo uhave MS right? just throw your arms in the air and say screw it....enjoy yourself.
