I went out with Sherrie and Karisa last night. We went to Cyclones and then Sue's. I got a margarita at the restaurant which made me drunk..that's the first time that's ever happened from one frozen drink. (that's probably untrue but we'll go with it for the story's sake) Upon getting the bill and seeing that it was $14 for one drink, I realized that I was very thankful it intoxicated me or I'd have been pissed! :) We went to Sue's after and I shouldn't have had another drink at all but I had two cause I don't know my alcoholic boundaries aka I'm dumb.
My reasoning for saying all this is that I need to get it through my head that I am a bad drinker. Firstly, I spend way** too much money cause the second I get tipsy I feel the need to buy everyone a drink. The next day I always cringe when I see my account. Secondly, like I said, I get drunk and then think it will "wear off" in five minutes so I drink too excess and then feel like shit the whole next day. That may be okay on the weekends when you have a day of detox to just lay around and complain, but when you have to go to work at 7:30 the next morning..it's not fun. That is my case for today! Yay! And I'm sure this story will be on repeat Saturday, too.
On the bright side, Reice is bringing me Tons for lunch so that should make things better :).
I struggle with it (drinking too much). It seems that age (I'm 41) has naturally slowed me down,without trying. Still, once a month or so, I "go for it."
