I found out recently that a good friend has sworn off drinking alcohol. I'm not sure how long he intends to do this for, or why he would even want to do this in the first place. I give him major credit, I'm not sure I could ever do the same. He is a much better person than I, as I would fail a day into it. However, this did get me thinking. Could I give up beer?! I mean, if I had to, could I really go without it?
I'm not sure I could to be honest with you. I wouldn't say it's because I am a functioning alcoholic, or dependent on booze. I just really enjoy the hell out of how it tastes. There is nothing better after a long day of work than a frosty cold Prelude in the winter. I'm not sure I could operate a grill properly in the summer without a perspiring tall can of PBR in my hand. I couldn't eat at GLB without getting my favorite Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA.
My waistline would appreciate a break, but I say to hell with you waistline, booze and I are good friends and he is here to stay!
About Me
- Mark
- I've always wondered if people actually read this stuff. I never do when I'm on other pages. Well, in case, for some strange reason, you find it necessary, I'll give you a little knowledge. I was born in The County. For those of you who don't konw better, that would be Aroostook County. For those of you who do, your jokes won't work on me, they are lame. I'm the son of an investment banker that squandered his every penny on tuna fish sandwiches in the late 80's, and my mother was the lead singer for the Bangles. Neither of those is true, but again, I'm convinced nobody is reading this anyways. I met my wife at a carnival, and we were married by the bearded lady in front of the entire clown brigade. I have a daughter who is training for the 2012 Olympics where she will compete in the Triple Jump and Javelin. We live in a nice little shanty in the woods and are hoping to one day have running water. Any questions?
