I can't imagine an adult thinking that they need an excuse to get drunk. Unless their decision to drink makes them feel guilty or something. They have choice. Why an excuse? They are all grown up and do it just as adults choose to do anything. I guess I am missing the point... Good article tho. Ellen B
Only time I ever get drunk, and it is very rarely is on a very special occasion with family.We had the family over after my neices wedding and we all had a nice dinner, drank crown royal and cola. We all got nostalgic and had a few too many. We all had a good time. We were all smiles and laughs. We had designated drivers. It was a very joyous occasion!
But some people make up stuff just to booze it up. For me it is just a special occasion when we drink. We do not go overboard.
Well, I am in recovery now, so I don't drink anymore. That's just a choice that is better for me. But back in the day.......I had so many excuses to drink it wasn't even funny.
Now don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against people that can go out and drink and have a good time. I just wasn't one of those people. Once I take a drink, the drink takes me, and it wasn't pretty.
Ahhhh, I lived with an alcoholic for a time. I heard a million of 'em, although I think my all-time favorite was, "I drink to have fun." I must admit, I don't really see the "fun" in two DUIs, countless bar fights, being on a first-name basis with the local PD (especially when they call you "Drunken Spithead,) or liver damage, but I may really be the "wet blanket" I was accused of being....
Now, I personally, make no excuses for my drinking; I am telling you honestly that were I to jump up on the fabled wagon, my local watering hole would have to lay off staff, and I do not want the guilt of causing someone's unfortunate unemployment on my conscience.... ;-)
And, Monica? Congratulations! That is truly an accomplisment to take pride in!
Most folks who get drunk don't need any excuses - lol...one excuse though might be incapable of stopping when your lips start to feel numb...now that's drunk - Salud.
It might go stale? Actually, we emptied out all the hard liquor in our cabinet because it was covered with dust. Does hard booze go stale? Beer would go flat and wine to vinegar, but what about bourbon?
Well, was going to give the usual like, had a hard day, I deserve it, blah, blah, blah, but I think Monica, and everyone else, already got it covered. Rattlesnake will always bite you, it's his nature.
this bottle is too full for comfort. Ide better clean that whsky up for you. you should be ashamed, i am hereby confiscating that drink and disposing of it properly! I have hemeroids and the pain is unbearable,Ide better drink three bottles of something as fast as possible to cure the pain,hahahahaha!
I had a family member that use to call it their stamina to face the day, then the night and whatever else might need to be faced. There is always an excuse if someone wants one.
