I don't either. If I could do that I would. Maybe not every Friday or Saturday but now and then. Nothing wrong with having a good time. But when it stops being a good time I think we have to stop and ask ourselves why we are continuing to do it.
I cannot do this. I have one drink and I spend the rest of the day/evening chasing the drunk. So in my case, the first drink gets me drunk.
