I saw a lot of good concerts sober this summer.
Before I was also always drinking at shows, it actually ruined how I feel about some bands.
You know, you would see the concert annonced month before, buy your ticket and be all excited that one of your fave bands come to down - then you will end up drinking, not remembering the show or do something stupid - or end up binging for days after the show... Totally ruining it for yourself.
I have a few bands, that I really used to like, but that I can hardly enjoy anymore because listening to their music now makes me think about how I disappointed myself getting drunk at their concerts. i think I need to see these bands live again sober, to try to erase those bad memories and learn to enjoy them again
