I’m gonna say something that is going to trigger people and I will lose a third of my followers within the hour.

In the past, oh, year or year and a half or so, alcohol has lost a lot of appeal to me.

Now, first of all, I live in a very special place. You cannot
comprehend the level of problematic, binge drinking that regularly takes place in Wisconsin that is accepted as normal. On every measure of alcoholic consumption we bring the average up.
Too drunk to drive is really “can you make the turn? Oh you rolled your truck, gues you’re drunk”

I’ve lived it. Breathed it. Swam in it. For a long period of time I would drink half a case to “warm up.” I could House a 1L bottle of 80 proof and be fine.
That’s “Wisconsin fine” not normal fine. I’d black in usually doing something really stupid. Anyway, my point is I lived most of my younger adult life in a state of being completely smashed. Going to work drunk - from the night before - was totally commonplace
That was never even a problem. I’ve done it so many times that I have a whole method and plan of attack for it. How much water, how much food, when you take Advil and caffeine pills, etc. Vitamin B whatever. I kept this shit in my desk drawer at work. just a normal Wednesday
As time is going forward I just don’t dig it that much anymore. —And I have no idea why—

I liked getting drunk. No, I loved getting drunk. Loved it. Second only to actually being drunk. But not just drunk I mean FUCKED UP. Maybe blow jobs are better whatever
This was FUN. I genuinely had fun. I didn’t hate myself I wasn’t covering up long term sadness I didn’t have a big hole in me fuck no man I liked to party.

Times change
So weird. If I drank 12 beers right now I’d probably die. I have two and it rings my chimes pretty good. Which is fine because I don’t really want more than two of anything anymore (except blowjobs). Fuck man the other day I had five beers
And I woke up thought I’d taken a shot gun blast to the head. Totally not worth it. I dunno if it’s just metabolism or what but the cost benefit just isn’t making me allocate resources the same way. I’ll probably make a cocktail and shut it down after that.
And the thing is as much as this is weird I simply don’t care. Like, when I was 15 I swore I’d NEVER stop partying. I drank at lunchtime at school and went to class drunk. THAT was fun. Legit fun. Math class numbers spinning around my head.
Now I’m like yeah whatever man I gotta get up early I got shit to do. I’ll gas a few beers with friends and it’s still SUPER fun to get and be drunk but boy I put the brakes on that shit fast now.

I might delete this anyway I see all sorts of people getting totally
Smashed on weekends on here and I just can’t hang like that and honestly I don’t mind. I’m just reflecting on what an unforeseable me turns of events this has been for me. Whatevs.
