OK so i want a vote on this.. and I may win i may lose but I AM TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE I AM 5, when i am a junior in college! So I have had one of the worst weeks I've had in a long time. I have nearly quit one of my jobs about 10 times in the past two weeks (most coming in the past 3 days), I have been screamed at by my boss like 4-5 times just for doing my job, because he is stressed out. I have had to take care of everything for my parents cause dad is well..useless and mom has strained her back and thought for a week there that she had cancer... I am always the "responsible son" and do everything I am asked without argument. Tonight i had ONE BEER when i got home from work at 8:30... at MIDNIGHT (3 1/2 hours later for those keeping track) I get ready to go to matt's apartment a mile and a half down the road.. APPARENTLY i am too intoxicated to drive not because of how i am acting but simply because i had one beer.. for those who dont know me.. I am 180 pounds.. all man... and can recover from several beers in the matter of an hour or so (save a certain few nights filled with vodka shots *wink*).. much less one beer in 3 1/2!!!! but apprently IM still too "drunk" to go out..
Safe to say I argued my ass off for about 5 minutes... I eventually said fine FUCK YOU... went to my room...slammed the door and have been in here playing Atreyu as loud as i could on this computer ever since... It may all sound immature but Im tired of being the mature kid and the responsible son while I constantly have my judgement and character second guessed for no reason... i mean fuck up until this summer i havent been allowed out with friends past 10 or 11 by my parents.. IM A FUCKING JUNIOR IN COLLEGE!!!!! and after all I have done to help my parents through some incredibly tough shit you'd think I would have earned my right to be my own man and gotten some trust.. but apparently not. Oh and lets not forget the number of times I have seen BOTH of them drive when they had a half a bottle of wine in them
anyone who feels I am getting the short end of the stick and being shat on please let me knoe.. those who dont.. i challenge you to explain how im wrong here... and why i shoulnt be pissed off
****Let me leave the disclaimer that I know drinking and driving is wrong and i personally dissapprove. But I dont think driving after said alcohol is OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM is wrong.. If i was capable of blowing anything over a .01 (the equivalent of mouthwash) then I would agree with my parents.. but it only takes an hour for a beer to leave your system.. and thats for "lightweights" ( i have actualy found charts detailing this). So that being said.. I was NOT intoxicated.. was not impaired and was perfectly capable of doing anytihng and everything i needed****
oh and i would prefer people who have some actual knowledge of drinking.. but would like views from everyone.
