I actually got kicked out of a bar last night for the first time! Wooohooo! I've always been a bit of an aspiring alcoholic, but I wasn't even drunk! Well, not much anyway... I was out with this guy Lance down at the local meat market bar that sits across the street from the beach. It was early (like 10:30ish) so there wasn't much going on yet, so this was about the only place with people in it. To put it mildly, the guy I was with was smashed. Claimed he was drinking since 5 because of a going away party for somebody at work. Anyway he's making all kinds of off-color jokes about people walking by, and some of the shit was damn funny. Maybe I was a little faded, because I don't remember what he was saying, but whatever it was had me laughing my ass off. So before long, some dude that looked like Danny Devito w/muscles walks up, flexing his pecs and lats, and asks if he could have a word with me outside. I'm like "OK, sure" but thinking "well, if you're going to get into a fight, you might as well be feeling no pain when it starts." So we walk to the doorway, and the whackjob proceeds to tell me that I shouldn't be drinking any more, and that some of the employees were concerned, and I should go home. Turns out he was a fricking bouncer! I'm like "Me? I'm done drinking, but are you serious?" I mean you guys know I pretty damn mellow. So Lance is like "I want to see the manager! I'm drunk off my ass, and you're going to kick HIM out?" So the manager comes out in less than 20 seconds (damn, that was fast) and repeats the same story. Lance starts getting ticked (drunk people, lol) but I'm like "whatever, we were done anyway." So we walk the downtown bar scene for a few minutes and decide to take off. I tend to think the real reason is that I got kicked was that I'm 32, and maybe that was offending the sensibilities of the 18-25 crowd that dominated the scene.. (fake IDs greatfully accepted).
Anyway I only had two drinks that night, but I actually feel just slightly hung this morning! WTF?? I think I have found the perfect hangover helper though.. rasberry, strawberry, banana, and yogurt smoothie! mmmmmmmm anyway back to work.
