Ok so some of you may have read my post when i talk about drinking on my vacation.
I discussed back and forth whether to drink or not, and of course concluded with that drinking would be the worst but most likely option.
And so it was. I had the day prior to departure bought beers which I had for breakfast. Nothing crazy about that. But at the airport tax free store, the beers were of course warm to encourage people to drink overpriced beers in the bars. But vodka was pretty cheap, and the stores had cold coke bottles. Problem solved!
My trip involved intermediate stops in both Amsterdam and Paris, and by the time i was half way there, i was so drunk I fell asleep / passed out waiting to board the second plane. Luckily one intelligent and friendly passenger woke me just in time to get on the plane.
That could have been a big disaster with dire consequences.
Anyway, that was a bit of an eye-opener for me, and for the duration of the vacation I drank mostly beer, and some gin tonics and other "exotic" drinks. Very little unmixed alcohol. One day I bought an old relic of sorts, that probably was fake and that I probably overpaid for, but other than that, there were no major incidents.
I only worked up a real hangover two times or so, besides from the "normal" morning nausea and general slight depression and feeling of guilt.
So "vacational" drinking seems to work just fine. But here is my problem. I am a big habitual everyday drinker in the sense that I drink much every afternoon/evening.
How the cr@pp go I get myself back on the 'bus? My boss comments on that I always show up late, and my coworkers comment on that I look crazy tired and have implied that I smell of booze, even though I just drink after work.
I love sports, I love my other non drunk activities, I love being sober, but it has come to the point where I am hung over all day and only booze can cure that problem.
