The Daily Dose: No.18

~ Drinking Drivel ~

Welcome to today’s alcohol-free offering of information, inspiration and fun to keep you motivated and moving in the right direction 🙂

Let’s Party

I’m not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings. I’m a drunk, we go to parties.

     ~ Unknown wag

Which reminds me of other funnies, along the lines of: ‘Drinking problem? I don’t have a drinking problem. I drink, I get pissed, I fall over, no problem!’, or ‘I don’t have a drinking problem. If anything, I’m too good at it!’

Ho ho ho.

It’s always along the same lines; the fact that we know it’s fundamentally stupid and not doing us any good, but we do it (and laugh about it) anyway.

Maybe that’s a good thing. Positive attitude, looking on the bright side, that sort of deal. I’m trying to think if there are equivalent nonsenses we partake of despite all the downsides.

Smoking would be a good example. I’m thinking perfectly legal, socially acceptable / tolerated / normal here. Coffee drinking might be another, although it’s probably less dangerous than the first two.

Prescription drugs you get hooked on, would that fit? Maybe not, because you don’t start taking them just for the supposed pleasure of it.

My grandmother (and mother for that matter), was completely hooked on tea but she was still going strong at well over ninety, so that probably doesn’t count.

Chocolate? Surely not. McDonalds and Coke? They say so, obesity and sneaky addictive additives and all that.

So no, when all’s said and done, I honestly can’t think of anything so socially accepted and ‘normal’ and yet so spectacularly bad for us as booze.

But as long as we’re partying, we haven’t got a problem, right?
