Football, fun, and drinks

Sat Sep 5, 2009, 7:39 PM
I'm so weird these days.

It's kinda funny how getting in touch with a repressed girly side will make you realize you don't enjoy things you should. It's crazy how being unabashedly feminine will really cause you to want to be normal.

I'm going to be doing something I've never done in my entire life, and it's something that sounds so backwards. You'd think that going girly would make one like football less, but it's not true. Watching people play a game sounds incredibly enjoyable. Watching it with my girlfriend sounds even better :D

I want to have more fun, just let go and do things that will make me smile, but it wasn't always like this. For a about a year leading up to my epiphany (when I let myself admit that I'm an emotional, feminine, temperamental girly guy) I turned to the bottle too much. Never the constantly-drunk alcoholic thing... just an inability to meter myself. I'd never get "feeling good." I'd go past it and stay juiced longer than my g/f. The really annoying part is that I'd be consistently drinking half a fifth of drink at once! Yikes!

Well, that set a really annoying precedent, understandably. Now I'd much rather find a way to make myself meter myself. I want to do it on my own, rather than making her treat me like a child :p

So, this is a question for all of you who like your drinks, and revel in the pleasure of moderation! What are your tricks for getting enough, getting tipsy and chatty, without getting DRUNK? I'd really like to know so that I can enjoy drinking with my g/f again.

Heads up, though: "Just stop drinking completely" type comments are unwelcome.

I know you say you're not trying to quit it, but why not try that strategy anyway... Ween off of it, and then stop for say, a week, and then come back to it with refreshed temperment.

Thats what i've been trying to do with my excessive caffiene intake... Key word, trying.

That's honestly the best way! To me I'd like it to be something recreational, drink a little some afternoon with friends, but not get drunk ya know?

So to that end, just takin' it easy with two or three beers in the comfort of your own backyard while visiting on the weekend is great.

We all have different levels of addictiveness in our personality. Mine is very high, which is precisely why I refuse to ever touch the stuff. I dont know if I could stop. I totally understand where you're coming from.

After I read what some of the side effects are from my level of caffiene addiction, im actually closer to intoxication levels, some of the side effects are personality changes and being very nervous, which I am.

If I ever get out of this Hell I hope to be able to "reboot" as I suggest to you. But its not easy, depending on just how deep you are, and how addict your personality is. You seem like a strong willed person though, so it shouldnt be too hard as long as you ease in and out.

The important part is you WANT to do it.
