"Whom" is correct. (Duh!)

Dear Grammer Genious,


I'm writing captions for a slide show of the St. Mary's of Redford High School 40th class reunion. Is this sentence correct? "Here is drunken Colin, head over heals in love with whom I once was." Is that alright?


Yours,
Mary Jo Shouda

Dear Mary Jo,

Anything with "whom" in it is correct by definition. But you shouldn't say "drunken." You should say "impaired." Unless he was really sloppy-smashed, that is.
