Sorta Sober

Not really sure how to say this, but I think I'm gonna take it easy on the booze for a few weeks. I know what you're saying..."this will never last, why bother?"..."Dude, your blog is called 'Where's my beer?' and you usually write drunk? I'm confused." Well my reasons are stricly financially driven. I don't have a drinking problem, and I have never really let my drinking interfere with my work. Yeah, I probably carry an extra 10 pounds for all the beer I drink, but I'm ok with that if I can go out and get drunk ever now and then. But an empty bank account is worse than an empty pitcher.

So, this is how I see this going. I am going dry for 3 weeks. Starting today, January 17th, 2010 until February 7th I will not have any alcohol. At that point I am going to slowly reintroduce myself to booze. I will continue to go out, but I will take a lesson from Chad Ochocinco and drink cranberry juice or tonic with a lime so it looks like I'm drinking.

This way I can still go out and have fun and be with my friends in the scene, but it will cost me 1/4th the amount of money. Instead of $8 for a vodka tonic it will cost $2 for a juice or a pop.

I will continue to update the blog with great stories of my drunk friends and my sobriety and the challenges of not drinking...

Wish me luck!!
