You ever have those nights where you are tired and want to go to bed, but friends are going out for an occasion (eg: a birthday)? Since it is a special occasion you decide to join them for a little while. It's good to show your face at times like this, help to make sure the friend has a good time. Of course you remember that you're quite tired, and decide at the beginning of the evening that you will go out for just one drink. Maybe split some nachos or wings with someone who is hungry. You tell your friends your plan, who all agree. It's a perfectly reasonable thing, as you still came out. After all, you have a long day the next day.
So you're out with some friends, having a good time. You're laughing it up, watching sports highlights, and just shooting the shit. Of course you keep checking your watch and the level of your drink. The drink seemed to go down rather quick however. Maybe you didn't pace yourself as well as you had hoped. No matter. The important thing is that it is still early, so another drink won't hurt.
Next thing you know the bar is closed and you need to get up for work in 4 hours. You wander home grumbling about how you totally lost track of the time and how you will be exhausted the next day.
Those are some of the best nights, and I wouldn't give them up for anything. :)
Of course there are similar nights that don't involve a bar, or even drinking. This is just what happened to me last night.
random,
friends
