Nothing really makes me want to drink anymore really but it just makes me remember drinking because a big storm was always a great excuse to start drinking early. I mean obviously as I'm sober now I see that being drunk in a disaster-type situation is up there with the stupidest things I've done as a parent. But that's how my mind worked at the time.
And now all across my FB feed is like "screw bread and milk - I'm going to get some wine!". And graphics replacing the inches of rain predictions with bottles of wine suggestion. etc etc.
It just all seems so dumb to me. And I can see now that these people posting it can LOLZ about it and then move on. But when I was drinking I'd take it as confirmation that every other person with young kids was ACTUALLY half in the bag by noon.
I will confess though. That it's not quite 9am here and I've had 3 cups of coffee and 2 slices of apple pie
Stay safe everyone!
