never ever get drunk

I can proudly say I’ve never been drunk. Of course, my body has a very low tolerance for alcohol and I’d get sick before I could consume enough alcohol to get drunk.

The last time I consumed alcohol, which was almost a year ago, it ended up with firemen and paramedics coming to my aid at a semi-formal event. Let’s just say, I doubt I will ever let alcoholic drinks touch these lips again. I thought I was going to die.

I’m 28, and I can honestly say that I’ve NEVER been drunk. The only time I really drink anything is on new year’s eve, and then it’s just a couple of coolers or a glass of wine or two. When I turned 21, my friends bought me like 8 kahlua’s but they didn’t phase me. That’s the most I’ve ever drank and have not done that since then. LOL, I’m a bouncer at a bar and a lot of my buddies drink, so they have set a goal to one day get me drunk.

its not like its been never ever. but its been almost a year since I was last really drunk. and really, being a tea tottler (?) isnt all its cracked up to be.

Partly becuase I play up on how affected by alchol I am. Partly becuase I really enjoy having a drink and I dont want to have to be thinking “now have I had enough?”.

Having a few drinks is fun. just dont do it to excess.

went out dancing the other night and I didnt get drunk! Im so proud! Only 3 drinks :) however I still felt a little under the weather the next day… gotta learn to stop mixing drinks….

well, I got drunk yesterday. i know this becuase I was drunk at 3, talking silly thru a movie, and then hung over at 7pm… I am slightly ashamed of myself. more not wanting to drink any alchol at this point in time. blah.

I just dont know if i can do this goal. this temptation seems to be beyond what i can deal with at this point in time. I want to get to that happy point, but as a christian I dont want ppl thinking of me as a hypercrite. who cant spell.

I suppose what i need to do is learn how to drink and pray about this more. praying seemed to work with my stress over uni…

Can’t figure out why people get drunk in the first place—they act like idiots, smell bad, are a nuissance and danger to others…and all they get out of it is really sick and possibly a harmful addiction. Is it really worth the temporary ‘buzz’? I don’t think so.

This hasn’t been a problem with me so far. Only thing is, the only way I can say I’ve completed this one is by dying sober! Aah! :P

a few days after my last entry, well, it wasnt planned, but i was held up by a typhoon so we all went drinking…. yeah… i only had about 3 drinks in 4 or so hours, and didnt mix drinks. so Im pretty happy about that. if it wernt for the 3 hours sleep, stress and all, I would probably would have been pretty peppy the next day.

its not that i go drinking a lot, but sometimes i get the urge to get all… silly.

Last night i went out with some friends. It was an all you can eat and drink thing. And i didnt get drunk… i did start to feel the effect of the wine, but i wasnt drunk.

BUT this morning! i woke up with a hangover. go figure. I think it was the wine cooler i had… must have had something else in it… lesson of this story – dont order a drink that you dont know what is in it…..

from now on – only one glass of wine or whatever i am drinking when i go out. Maybe 2 if its a loooooonnnnnngggggggg nite. no mixing drinks either.

yep, thats right, I havent been drunk since jan. which make it about half a year.

but I still over exaggerate my state.. which i am not happy about. pretending that I am drunk when Im not. I’ll blame it on not being at home and all the stress I have.

So, my aim really is never to want to be drunk again. who needs alcohol to enjoy themselves?
