so i've recently decided to take a break from drinking. i've really been drinking way too much recently, and it's a little scary. it really hit me this weekend. i tried to think back to what i did, and everything from friday morning to sunday night was just a haze. not neccessarily a drunken haze or anything, although that did contribute to it, but it just flew right by. and that's not really a way i want to remember "the best four years of my life". plus i also feel like my alcohol consumption has started to define me. i'm kind of sick of being the go-to guy for where parties are, where beer is, that sort of thing. in high school i had friends that i could hang out with sober or drunk, it didn't matter. here it seems like i only hang out with 75% of my friends while completely blitzed. with my friends from home, we can go to a diner, or fridays, go to a friend's house, we even played laser tag once, and we don't need to be drunk to do it. but here, it seems like if i'm spending time with friends, alcohol HAS to be included somehow. and i used to joke about my good friend Albert Cohol (Al Cohol), but he really is becoming a large part of my social scene.
so anyway, to summarize, i drink too much and i'm stopping.
