well...honestly?
I wouldn't have gone anywhere where 99% of people will be chugging beers, and noone knows I'm trying to stay sober, all in my first two weeks.
I just couldn't have done that. That's like lifting 350 pounds cold, man.
If you want to get out of the house, get out of the house...but me? I'd avoid alcohol fuelled events like that for a good long while.
