Suffering from ads?

In Germany, I've spent maybe 10€ a week on alcohol (a bottle of wine, and a few beers). Besides, rent I spend maybe 70€ per week. So, about 15%.

Yesterday I bought $22 (3 bottles) of "1.9" red wine. That's how many carbs it has per whatever. Neat thing though, the low sugar level makes it dry, which I like.

Drinkin is ok...but not in excess.

Case in point. Last night was my friends b-day party. I got so sloshed that I was dancing around a cop car and apparently wanted to "get naked for food". My friend just called and told me some of the stuff. Damn. My friend also said I went to a allnight food place and told the cashier "give me something with two F's"

WTF?

All I said is that I don't need to drink to have a good time.

Of course, as Mrs. T can attest, I will drink in certain circumstances.

I'm a not a non-drinker, but my answer to all of those questions is 'yes'.

I can flip out pretty badly when sober, which helps.

I can be 'sympathetically drunk'. All the fun, none of the side effects...maybe that is indicative that I can have a laugh despite being sober. However it makes people who need a drink particularly uncomfortable...

"Hair of the Dog"? That's too hardcore for me. I'd rather just kick it today. I don't gotta go work.

But I'm here posting at Poly right now...what's that say for a hangover cure? I think I'm out of aspirins.

But I'll try and steer this back on topic...



...Going out I can spend around $60-80. Normally I spend that much in two weeks if I just kick it at my friends house drinkin.

Hard liquor is bad.
