Ok, it is wildly known among my peers and family that I am not a big drinker. Honestly, I don’t care for the taste and I really don’t like being drunk. I have never passed out (unless I was going to bed) and I have never blacked out due to excessively ingesting alcoholic beverages.
When I do drink, it’s strictly beer or some girly beverage which you can’t taste the actual alcohol in.
Vodka tastes like rubbing alcohol, rum is like garbage, and bourbon was forever ruined when a friend made me take a shot before getting in a cab once. Keep in mind that this was my first ever shot of any alcoholic beverage.
I wasn’t a drinker in high school and first year of university was when I went “wild” and had two hangovers. Two. Told you I wasn’t a drinker.
I also can’t understand why people are. I mean, I understand, I can physically compute the reasoning and whatnot, but it’s more like I can’t see why. Sure, some people use it to cope with their pitiful lives and they think that that’s a viable excuse, but there are other ways. Then there are the really pathetic people who think that they can’t have fun without drinking too much. In university and in the real world I encountered way too many people like that. It’s as though they think that since so many people do it that it’s acceptable.
Of course, I am not necessarily against those few nights a year when it might be a special occasion where you go out with your friends to celebrate and you drink a little too much. Hey, it happens to the best of people. What I don’t understand is that when you reach your limit, you’re happily buzzed and yet can still stand of your own free will and though your speech is slurred and you’re a little inhibited, you still know what you’re saying even if it’s constant ‘foot-in-mouth’. But why would you want to black out and not remember what happens next?
I know girls, especially, who go out and do this every weekend. They have lost phones, cameras, wallets, jackets, and what little dignity they possess all because they want to be like that. And then they whine about it.
Point and case, there are these two girls that I know who are best friends and have been since grade school. They are always complaining about not having money – something else which I can never understand – because they go out all the time, several times a week, and spend hundreds of dollars on alcohol. One of said girls has been having problems with her stomach which has remained undiagnosed. Now, if it was me and I was experiencing extreme pains in my stomach, I would try and, oh, not drink for a while and see if that helped. But not, she still drinks like a fish. It’s as if she’s not smart enough to put two and two together and get something other than negative seven. It would at least be something that I would try. Tests have shown that alcohol can strip rust off of metal if submerged long enough… I think. Anyways, it’s potent and if cola can dissolve a tooth when submerged for a few days, think that several years of being soaked in alcohol could do to a stomach.
It’s like, “Hello! Use your brain and common sense”.
I totally could have lived during prohibition and of been unaffected.
People are so stupid sometimes.
