Semi-serious question...

[bootler]

How important is it to my innate "bootler-ness" that I don't drink? I mean...is it a bad thing that I've been wondering what it would like to be drunk and not care about things around me? Or am I just panicking for no apparent reason because I've scared myself about it for so long? Arg

Drinking

I don't know how much all of that applies to just people in the low 20s *shrug

Heh... We must be somewhat on the same wavelength. I've kind of been mysteriously drawn to the thought of alcohol consumption lately (though I wouldn't want to get drunk). I think with me, it's most likely due to a build-up of general frustration...

It's odd. I see absolutely no point in wasting money to make myself pee a lot, turn my face red, make my eyes bloodshot, and all the other stuff, but I still want to despite the illogical-ness of it all. A temporary altering of one's current state of mind, while being much less harmful than heroin / cocaine / all that other stuff that I'd never ever touch... It almost sounds nice.

It's not a bad thing to wonder what it's like to be drunk. Drinking to forget, now that is a dangerous thing. If it works you'll be more inclined to drink to forget the next time. And the next and the next. It could start out as an experiment, but could be quite easy to fall into the pattern of addiction.

Another thing, it's not garunteed that you'll forget. Or maybe it is. But while you're drunk, you could be very angry, or you could get very depressed, or you could be very happy.

If it makes you feel better, I have no inclination whatsoever to drink, and it has nothing to do with being allergic. You can not drink and still be cool. ;)
