[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6235014, member: 6750039"] The first time I was drunk I was at the ripe old age of 5. I liked marachino cherries and my dad put them in the highballs he made for my mother and aunts (Crown Royal so not terrible). When I thought the adults weren't looking I would tip the mostly empty glasses to my innocent mouth and get the cherries they left behind. They obviously made note of this and began to leave slightly more in the bottom of the glass. Apparently by the end of the festivities I was quite entertaining. I really started drinking when I was 16. I drank as often as I could cuz that's what we did when we hung out. No problems with school or whatever, either. In my early to mid twenties I had a terrible job that drained my soul and a friend was in a similar situation. We'd meet after work pretty much every day and one or both weekend days, too. We'd drink from when we got there to close and then we'd sit with the bartenders and owners, position ourselves so the cops couldn't see us through the windows and drink for free until 4 or 5 in the morning. It was pretty cool. Nothing I'd even attempt to do again. Nowdays I don't drink all that often and when I do I only drink quality stuff (you can ask me what I consider to be quality stuff but it's a li'l much for this post). I do get drunk on occasion but I also have no problem sitting on the couch with one (admittedly large) glass of good scotch or outside with a cigar and some wonderful cognac (reminds me: I really need to ask my friend to get his source to bring me some more back from France) and be happy with having just that. When I go out to drink I do not drive if I can help it. If I must drive to a bar (so my wife can drink or whatever) then I have a hard limit of two tall Guinness and nothing more for the entire evening. I don't play stupid games anymore. I did when I was a kid and it's something I look back on with true regret and a feeling of real luck. I do need to watch myself. My paternal grandfather was a terrible drunk. My dad quit drinking at age 17 because he began to see his father in him. My brother almost died in a car accident from drinking and luckily finally quit. So, you see, it's in me. I'm as careful as I can be and so far have been ok. Since I've been playing this game for 19 years now, well, I think I'll make it so long as I always keep that knowledge in the back of my mind. Knowing that a friend lost his sister to a drunk driver and the memory of my brother in the hospital helps a lot. Knowing another friend nearly killed himself driving after he drank with me is another good prod in the gray matter. I've found that my shifting tastes have helped quite a bit. Drunk isn't my endgame because I truly enjoy the taste of the good stuff. I can't say I won't drink to party ever again - I know myself and I know who I drink with - but I can say that I'll watch myself very closely and back off when I need to.
