Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I put a jigger of rum in my spiced cider, AIFG!
This has been my choice of late. I'm not a big drinker though. Two or more drinks in a evening happens about twice a year for me.
Tonight was the Chicago memorial service for the lighting designer I was assisting who passed away in October. It was a lovely service and I was holding it together until someone gave me a hug. Then I turned into a sloppy mess and had to flee.
OK, I'm now officially expecting a shiner in the morning. Just walked my eyebrow into an open cabinet door at full on speed. Ow.
DW punched herself in the mouth tonight when a bag she was hoisting lost its handle. She had to ice it and everything. Fat lip city! Here's hoping no one thinks I did it!
The shot was like a three for one, but I am good at shots. Ask Juliana.
However, it is cutting my night a bit short.
I prefer only scotch nights.
It's never held much appeal for me, I think largely because I'm too much of a control freak.
billytea is me.
largely because I'm too much of a control freak.
And for me, this is the reason I like alcohol. It lets me let go of that control impulse, even if just a bit. But it is also the reason I avoided most recreational drugs.
It's odd to see so many people automatically associate drinking with getting drunk. I drink because I like the taste of various drinks. Getting drunk is more of a bad side effect than the desired result.
I had a margarita tonight for 3 reasons:
1. Yummy. 2. $2.99 special. C'mon! 3. Hoping it would relax me a bit and help me sleep tonight.
Numbers 1 and 2 were a grand success. I shall report back on 3 tomorrow.
My sister and I always laugh after our check-ups. 1-2 a day? How many a week? Can I write in "Hardly ever but I'll get completely blotto once or twice a year"? That probably averages out to a drink or two a month.
I like the taste. I would still drink lots of the stuff I drink , even if there was no buzz. But if I didn't like the effects of alcohol , I wouldn't drink it.
of course, drunk has many fine shades. And due to all kinds of reasons , the same amount of alcohol hits me differently at different times.
I like when the world gets softer. I love when I lose the stiffness in my neck . I hate when I trip over my words.
And sadly, I can rarely blame bad typing on strong drink.
Yeah, I'll have a drink or two with dinner maybe once a month. Go out for a few beers once every few months. Get totally drunk maybe once or twice a year. The medical forms always ask how many per week.
