Well, for one, these people have known me for quite a long time. They know I was a big drinker. I'm done bartending in 6 weeks. I was just trying to get through the summer, and it was working as an alternative. "No, thanks..." just doesn't work. I've tried to explain that before. I'm guessing most of you haven't bartended before, and probably not in anything like the local dive bars I work in.
