...when you dress up like a pirate with several of your friends, drink a bottle of spiced rum before leaving the house to go to a "pirate party", bring a flask with you in case the band sucks, drink the flask because the band sucks, flirt with older guys to get them to buy your drinks because you're underage, stick around until the end of the show to get in a van with the band and your flask-wielding buddy to go to an after-party, drink some PBR at a house you've never been to, then take the drummer of the band that sucks home with you because your boyfriend's out of town. then, hungover, you drive him to denver the next morning because his ride left, and you're still dressed like a pirate.
and all of that is COOL.

When you're driving home on a very familiar road and forget to stop at the T-intersection, the nose of the car hits a ditch and sends you flying over the top of a fence, narrowly missing a power pole, land upright on all four tires, airbag hits you in the face breaking your glasses, total a brand new car with only 200 miles on it, too drunk to remember to turn the car off, think it's going to explode because of the smoke coming out of the airbags, have friends tow it off and don't report the accident, AND don't get one doggone scratch out of the whole thing and can somehow get the insurance company to buy you a new car!
This is a great thread - what "fond" memories it brings up.

anyway, the old brewery was the place where they held aa/alanon meetings (appropriate, i suppose) and i attended alanon there.
the joke was if you want to find all the town drunks, just follow the stag sign.

You know you're a drunk when your heart races anytime you see a cop while driving, no matter what time of day or whether you're sober or not, because you're usually not. That adjustment took forever when I got sober, but it was a great feeling to know I never had to worry about a DUI again.
Also when you rotate your liquor stores daily around the entire county so the employees or anyone who may see your car there doesn't think you have a problem. And then when you look at your bank statement and it's nothing but bars, liquor stores and partying and you hide it or destroy it so your S.O. doesn't see.
Or sneaking 3 recycling bins full of big empty wine bottles you've been hiding under the house to the county recycling center yourself out as far away as possible each week so they don't go out by the curb.
Or everything in your house has been broken and glued back together or had to be thrown away, or was thrown away unwittingly.
The list, sadly, is endless.
