Being single and bored is probably just excuse number 100,985,276,054 that your brain can whip up to keep you drinking. I know because I used that excuse or the longest time. But a little tip girls don't usually go for guys who slur their words while trying to hit on them. But they'll still let you buy em free drinks and laugh at your jokes before they slip away with their friends to the next bar to let more drunk guys hit on them and buy them more drinks. Lets say you were married and had children then what would be the next excuse to keep drinking?
