I don’t get drunk anymore. I stopped a long time ago. I still enjoy having a few drinks once in a while, but I don’t get drunk. I don’t see how people are obsessed with drinking. Pretty much, there’s a lot of people out there that pretty much all they do is drink beer or whatever kind of alcohol they can get their hands on. Some people drink alone, but most like to form a group of friends to party with a community. It’s a fact that there are alcoholics all over the place. Especially my home town of Greenwich. It makes you wonder why the Old Station Inn bar and the Thruway Beverages are pretty popular here in this small town.

I like to drink a few beers ’cause I enjoy the taste of beer, I don’t drink it to get wasted and have a good time, I drink it because I like the taste. The only time I’ll have a few drinks is when I’m out at a bar room gig, when I get invited to a party or partying with my brother and his friends.

I used to get drunk sometimes in the past, but I either get sick or pass out these days. But come on people, there is more life than just drinking alcohol. Nothing wrong with getting drunk and plastered once in a while, but doing it all the time is suicide. There is nothing cool about drinking in a shithole bar in your hometown. NOTHING cool about it!

While it is pretty fun to go to a bar, to meet new people and meet new friends, still though there is a lot of whacked and messed up people that go to bars. This is why I’m not much of a bar hopper. I very much stay away from them. The only time that I’ll go to a bar is when my cousin’s band, Sauce is playing at one or if I’m playing a gig at one. I will not go to a bar room just for the sake of drinking.

Yes, I do meet and run into some cool and down to earth peeps at bar rooms, but when I run into some whacko that won’t shut his mouth makes me want to leave the place. You can enjoy life without alcohol. If you think illegal drugs are destroying people’s lives, alcohol can do it easily too. There are many important things in life and better things to do than drinking. Save your money on more important things.

Sure, I buy a lot of entertainment stuff like music CD’s, movies on DVD, and videogames and shit like that, but hey, buying that stuff is much better than wasting it on drugs or alcohol. You want to have a good life and be a good person, then do something about it. There’s nothing “cool” and nothing “special” about getting wasted. I don’t know why so many people think it is.

Happy 4th of July.
