you can be happy and honest, solve your problems and relate even better to your friends
without alcohol. now, im not one to say i haven't enjoyed my drinking in the past, man i got ****ed up lots of times...and im lucky that the world is still graced with my presence. and i had lots and lots and lots of good times.....ahhhhhhhh, "the good ol' days" as we old farts like to say...
but alcohol will not
solve your problems. at the most it will just make you forget them if you get drunk enough. but when you wake up, those problems are still there. eventually, and i can
guarantee you this will happen...there will come a point to where it isnt covering up your problems anymore, its
creating them. i understand about british society as much as i can not having been there. i have a few redcoat friends, and they aren't complete drunks.
im more than twice your age and my life hasnt been a picnic, lemme tell ya. im just goving you a useful piece of advice. find something constructive to do.
if you can be a social drinker, there is nothing at all wrong with that. getting **** faced over and over again does not qualify as social drinking IMO.
im like saxon, i drank way too much in high school and college and finally just
stopped...and now have gotten myself together enough to have a beer or two and not feel the need to shut the bars down. it wasn't easy. just some friendly advice for a fellow tech forums member
