I'm going out tonight for dinner with some co-workers. As a group they will drink a couple of bottles of wine and go home. Which is the way I find most people drink. I've never seen them drink too much at a social function or come to work hungover.
Like it or not people like me just can't have a few. Not sure why that is. Maybe genetics. But if I were to have a few drinks at dinner I would be off to a bar later on. I just can't enjoy three or even four glasses of wine. It was never enough.
Like I suggested it might be related to genetics but once I start drinking I start pushing the envelop. I can never be sure how ****** up I am going to get.
So... what I have learned over the years (I'm 60) is that life can be complicated.
And for me to navigate through the ups/downs it is best that I don't drink or get stoned.
