20 Things you notice when your not drinking (for men)

I give props to LindsayMarie's original thread of the same nature, written from a female's perspective (even though it could apply to men in the same fashion). Someone suggested a male version of that list, so here we go!!


1) You learn how much the compulsive drinking volume liar actually drank.
Buddy:"DUDE! I did 10 shots and drank 20 beers last night!!!"
Me: Nope...you actually had...like...6 bay breezes.......

Funny one.

How about the women aren't as nearly as pretty as you thought they were. :rotfxko

....or partake in online auctions and pass out before they end only to discover in the morning you are now the proud owner of an $800 pair of diamond earrings

*There is almost no reason whatsoever to get into any kind of fight with anyone.

*There is stuff on TV after 11:00.

*It's really easy to be a stupid jerk without knowing it.

*Life doesn't get any f*cking easier but that's okay.

*Stupidity is contagious. With alcohol in the mix it's infectious.

What seemed like fun then, is just immature and a waste of money now.

I notice that I can remember what happened yesterday evening. I notice that I fall asleep instead of pass out, and I wake up instead of come to.

1. The song was actually in the key of d minor, not A major. (doh!)
2. Your best drinking bud? the one you were sure could be a stand up comedian? He's really not funny at all, it's just the neurosis and slightly maniacal insanity you found comical.
3. The guy you hospitalized for staring and trying to yell at you? He was just trying to find out where the washrooms were.
4. Out-drinking everyone in a biker bar is absolutely NOTHING to be secretly proud, especially once you're 35 and over.
5. People actually do stuff during the day.
6. That bar you found next to the crack house which is next to the gun store which is next to the pimps and ho's standing around a bunch of yellow police tape and blood stains? Yeah, ummm... NOT the next best after hours spot once the regular joint closes.
7. Recycling is meant for pop cans, not paychecks. In other words, the salary you got from the club you work at was never meant to be entirely spent 2 days later at the main bar of the same club.
8. The bartender who let you slide on a few extra shots is NOT a kindred spirit nor a brother for life, nor a spiritual guru.
9. The waitress who brought you free drinks all night does not necessarily love you.
10. Your friends are NOT laughing with you. Not anymore. They are laughing at you, and BTW, they're not your friends.

When I'm not drinking...

Two weeks between recycling pickups is more than enough time.
