“The great thing about alcohol is that you can freeze it – and it doesn’t freeze!” ~ Someone
First of all, let me preface this post by saying that I’ve been rather under the weather lately. So I’m not sure what has me on a writing kick of all things when I should probably be sipping chicken soup and sleeping… but we must all find things to do when we are sick I suppose.
I’ve been drinking for a couple years now, but until recently never had the courage to actually get drunk. Originally I would not drink much because, well, you wouldn’t want to drown out the Holy Spirit with the spirits. After all, the spirits apparently are stronger than the good ole HS – at least in large doses.
Anyway, then I went through a spell after leaving Christianity where I didn’t want to get drunk – so I didn’t. Friends would pressure me and say things like “you have to try it once!” or “Until you do you won’t know your limits.” I took this all as playful banter and never drank too much. 3 beers was quite a bit at that time.
Then it happened. One night I was out on the town with some friends and ended up drinking… well… a healthy amount of the ole sauce. Let’s just say it all makes sense now. Everyone should drink a lot at least once. I’m just sayin’ it is good to know your limit. And if you are ever out with friends and they pull out a video camera… just… leave.
Keep it real, all.

No youtube clip? Come on…
Ha ha! Funny how spirits really are more effective than the Holy Spirit, eh?
And you’re right, you’ve gotta get completely smashed at least once in your life. I’ve only been to the puke point once so far–and that was enough to convince me to never go there again.
The good part about puking was that now I know my limits. Now I can happily enjoy the pleasures of drunkenness without any of the side effects. It’s a wonderful thing when you can be drunk enough to lose your balance when you stand up, yet not have to deal with a hangover the next day.
Cheers!
“I’ve only been to the puke point once so far–and that was enough to convince me to never go there again.”
I can remember learning that lesson in my 20′s, though there were a few too many of those “never again” moments. You both have the benefit of learning to drink as adults when “never “again” is more likely to stick.
Did you have an headache
An headache? Actually… not really! I’m very surprised to announce I don’t really get hung over much. Which is, of course, awesome for someone who likes to drink.
Hey there Josh. Good to see you around. Don’t try getting smashed too much. The first few times many people don’t get much hangover. Then something happens (liver gets “toxified” or something) and you start getting hangovers.
Not that I expect you’re apt to try more, but just a warning about the future.
Good on you for trying it though. It’s worth having the experience.
Gasp! Turning to alcohol! Is that because without God, life has no meaning?
I too have been known to savor a beverage. I did have 11 one night, but I do know my limit. (It’s less than 11.) I was still a little woozy coming back from breakfast the next afternoon.
It’s great to not have to care what a bunch of prudes think.
Hey Joshua,
Good, I tracked you down to your website.
Next step: Put some cannabis in your pipe and smoke it. Much better high than ethenol and no hangover. God made it and said it was good. Goes great with sex too, which god also made and said was good.
Regards,
Roy
