So I have been meaning to write this Live Journal for a long time. I've had the thought in my mind, but haven't had the time to get it down, but I need to expell my opinion on the subject of DRINKING.
Drinking is out of control with some people. They do it every weekend, hell some everyday. Does it get old? Does it really make you feel that great? I think I have learned a lot from my experiences with drinking and just plain don't like it.
Drinking makes people do stupid shit. My one pet peeve in life is drinking and driving...what the fuck are you some stupid pussy who can't suck up their pride and call a cab for god sakes. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE...
Recently I have gone out been the DD, and that's fine with me, but endless hours of watching people piss their money and life away to the bottle has made me realize how much I don't like it. Now I am not saying that having a glass of wine, or a few beers are bad. But drinking for the point of getting drunk is RIDICULOUS! But take for example this weekend...I was out on the boat, I am the only one not drinking one because I had to drive my boyfriend around and two liquor disgusts me beyond belief...I want to puke... Anyway we were on the boat and a friend of ours was drinking and when he drinks he gets loud and obnoxious. So obnoxious he is saying really uncomfortable things to me and Daniel. I haven't told Daniel how much I hate it, because he is Daniel's relator...but I am going to after the whole house thing is done. Daniel the whole time was asking me if I was alright, I would say yes, but after a while of someone screaming in your face, telling you things you don't want to hear cause they make you uncomfortable, and the smell of liquor radiating off their breathe just gets to you. Now Daniel is not like that, it's just our couple friends.
I am disappointed it has gotten to the point that I don't even want to hang out with them because all they do is drink, because they are amazing people. But it just always ends up the same way, and I feel bad because they are his friends too.
I'm not trying to be all high and mighty because I did my fair share of drinking and I drank a lot. But for some reason it doesn't have the same appeal to me anymore. Maybe it's because I almost was rushed to the hospital that day, or maybe it's because I see what it does to people, but I am so over the drinking to get drunk thing.
I can have fun without drinking...there is so much more to do other than drinking.
Ask yourself next time you drink, is it REALLY work getting drunk and feeling that way the next day? What is it doing for you? And how much are you spending to feel that way?
PS. I sound so old writing this, but it is just observations I have made.
