Reminds me of a Mae West Line:

Mae: "I used to be ashamed of the way I lived."

Friend: "You mean you changed?"

Mae: "No, I just got over being ashamed!" ๐Ÿ˜œ

Excellent quote:)

I remember that one. I love Mitch.

That's the spirit!

That line was used in "While You Were Sleeping." A favorite line of mine. ๐Ÿคญ

I have my routine. I only drink on weekend. Friday and Saturday.It'ลŸ best to have limits. Drinking is very dangerous addiction. I know plenty of people who died from drinking.

Drinking is okay in moderation. I feel bad for alcoholics because society makes alcohol seem like it's classy.

This is just my impression, but it seems the drinking culture has gotten out of hand. Maybe I'm naive, but when I was growing up, drinking was a martini, a couple of cocktails at 5 PM, or a couple of beers with friends. Now, too often, it seems the goal is to get drunk - binge drinking, and so many events that become an excuse to drink. I understand having a few drinks to relax, but why is getting falling-down drunk, sick, or passing out a goal? Or considered "cool?"

Oh well, to each his own.

When I was in college, people would purposely set up a time to get drunk. They'd often say: "I'm going to get so drunk tonight", and their friends would agree. I don't understand how feeling like shit is appealing to them.

Drinking at all is a bad idea. It benefits no one.

reply

Sometimes it does. Most of time don't bring any benefits,sometimes bring some benefit.

reply

I don't know anyone who wouldn't be better off if they didn't drink.

reply

It definitely doesn't benefit 11 year olds.

reply

Some people feel alcohol takes an edge off. I don't see the harm in an occasional drink.

reply

Whew! I thought we'd lost you

Me too. I thought I was on Pornhub when I wrote that.

I told myself I should quit drinking too - then I thought about for a moment and realized I shouldn't be listening to some old drunk who talks to himself! ๐Ÿป๐Ÿบ๐Ÿป๐Ÿบ

Listen to the old man.

Reminds me of the line from Honkey Tonk Man:

Maybe you need some help with your drinking.

No I do ok by myself.


reply

Hope it goes well.

reply

That's good. Non- drinker myself.

reply

I'm not much of a drinker either. I'll only drink a little in social gatherings, but not to the extent where I need to be picked up off the floor.
