wine is gross

Wine is gross, that's why people sip it, and then they say they are refined. Alcohol in general is nasty, unless you cook with it, and start fires, that kind of thing. The first time you get drunk should be the last time. I think you get drunk to forget about life. I don't want to forget I want to remember everything.  Every stupid moment, every embarrassing act, every pee your pants funny moment; I want to live life.  Three Smirnoff's , one actual beer, a shot of whiskey, vodka, a couple jello shots, and sex on the beach, is a recipe for forgetfulness.  Getting drunk to deal with drunk people is not a solution. The thing is, when you wake up the next morning, your stupidity and sickness will make you forget about your stupor the night before.  A hangover lasts days, and the one night of freedom, of letting go, is not worth it. Don't go drinking Saturday night, with plans Sunday afternoon.
