Alcohol.

Thursday, January 26, 2017

Here's a thought I had. I went out sober last night, just so that I could drive home. I went out to dinner last night with a friend because she is currently living in Scotland, and is home for 10 days. She's been overseas for a year and so it's been forever since I've seen her!! We both had a drink at dinner, but since I was driving that was my only one for the night. 

After dinner we headed across the road to a bar that had an open mic night. Her and I grabbed a table by the door, so we could listen to the bands/singers perform while still being able to hear each other and chat. After a few hours I called another friend who joined for some drinks. By this time, we were just drinking water but once our other friend joined us they started drinking. I have no problem with that and I can enjoy myself just as much (if not more) when sober. We sat, they drank shared travel stories and gossiped. The longer we sat there, the drunker and drunker the people got around us.

It made me think about being the most sober person in a crowd of inebriated people. It made me question whether or not I could go sober for a week/month/year. And honestly, I don't think I could. As I've gotten older (yes, I'm only 19) I've grown out of the phase that most 18 year old's (at least in Australia) go through, where you and your friends just get smashed every single weekend. It's become more of a few social drinks in a bar. But, I think if I had to give up drinking I'd just completely give up having a night life... You know, like once the alcohol starts pouring it's time for me to go to bed. 

Am I the only one who thinks this?!
