Ah, Melly, I Ain't So Very Drunk
When I got home from work today, I needed a drink. And so I had one.
This marks the first time I ever had a drink when I "needed" one. I've always been afraid of the "needing a drink" mentality. If I become an alcoholic someday, you can mark Feb. 1, 2005 as the day at all began. Soon I'll spiral into after-work drinking binges. Then I start stopping on my way home. Next thing you know, I'll be having "liquid lunches" and will have to chew coffee beans to cover the stench on my breath when I get back to work. Eventually, I'll start carrying a flask and will add a little whiskey to my morning tea.
Whoa! Maybe I should keep this in perspective. After all, the drink I had tonight was a 3.2 Mike's Hard Lemonade. And I didn't even finish it. Dave can probably hold off on calling Betty Ford.
