(no subject)
so, i dont use this very much. but no one's home right now and it's late and i'm bored.
i've been thinking a lot about drinking lately.
i had to read this book called "from binge to blackout" for my public health class. it's about a kid who's alcohol behaviors from highschool and college turn into alcoholic behaviors in his adulthood. it's an important narrative, i think, for young people everywhere.
so after reading the book i've been contemplating not drinking anymore. i remember when mel wanted to stop drinking and how bummed i was, not because we drank all the time but because i thought she'd be missing out on all the fun lolzzz.
but there's not a lot of fun in throwing up in my brothers car, not being able to drive myself, throwing up in the boy i'm seeing's car, sleeping the entire next day, acting stupid. oh sure, i "let myself go" and "loosen up" when i drink, but fuck that man. i could be reading a book, bettering my life, rather than binge drinking and destroying my body. binge drinking is very detrimentalto women's bodies, it erodes our bones much faster than mens.
i'm in college to get an education, not build an inappropriate relationship with drugs and alcohol.
i dont think i'll give up drinking forever, but moderation is key. what's so wrong with having a few beers, and not geting WASTED BROOOOOOO KEG STANDDDDDDD TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTTTT I JUST FELL DOWN THE STAIRSSS, get it ?
i like the way beer tastes, but i dont like being drunk anymore.
maybe i've grown up, maybe i'm thinking too much.
but i'm really sick of accepting that "it's college, everyone does it". because stastically, there are going to be some frat dudes or girls that are so happy to be away from their parents that they drink themselves into oblivion five nights a week, that turn into alcoholics.
and that's not what college is all about.
end rant.
