Reading about the "taste" of alcohol and it makes me cringe. I hate it. I hate it so much. That's a horrible, horrible taste, yuck!
So tell me something, why would anyone drink heavily? I mean I can understand, I guess, situations like when something horrible and drastic/dramatic happens in one's life, and he/she can't deal with it, so they just want to "drown" their sorrows, but otherwise, why?
Well, not all alcohol tastes bad IMO, like Margarita's, especially Mango Margaritas, they taste really good (it tastes like orange Crush pop and regular Margaritas kinda taste like lemonaid).
Plus I am a big guy, and I have a natural tolerance to alcohol, so it takes a lot to really affect me. Of course, like I found out the other night, my stomach only has so much room, and when a bunch of food and a bunch of booze is all stuffed in there, the results aren't pretty.
But as to the why? Well, part of it is to kind of forget about everything around you to a degree and really relax and have fun with friends. Part of it, like I said above, is that most of what I drink actually tastes pretty good, and the main reason is that it helps me relax and loosen up a lot since I can be pretty uptight and withdrawn even among friends
So I drink on occassion, but for the most part, I go months without having a single drink at all. The last couple months have been a rarity.
The only time I found I "need" a drink now is when I want to get warm 'cause I'm so freezing that not even 5 layers get me warm, but about 4oz of wine make me really warm, and that's why I would drink, but no other reason at this point.
Guess I'm just feeling buzzed up, relaxed, and whatnot, as a natural high, all the time, with being all dazed and confused and living on cloud 9, hence I'm always light-headed and all that 'cause of lack of food in my system.
The story of your "upheaval" reminded me of a story from days long gone by, better known now as "The Ice 101 Affair."
I drank wayyyyy too many shots of Ice 101, so I'm in the restroom doing what you did when I hear (knock knock knock) "You're doin' more shots when you're done in there, right?" I of course say hell yeah (keep in mind I was 21 at the time). So I stumble out, and ask for a shot of "anything but Jim Beam" so of course I'm immediately handed a shot of Mr. Beam but they convinced me it was vodka. I remained convinced of that until I drank said shot. Yuck!
Your story just inspired me to share that bit of stupidity. :-)
