MA-Caver said:Well yes that may be true... it probably isn't fair or realistic... but it's sensible advice Sam, because by NOT drinking you won't have to worry about several things... i.e.
1. Waking up in the morning in bed saying to yourself... "What the HELL happened?"
2. Waking up in jail saying the same thing (called... Alcoholic Black-outs)
3. Waking up next to someone that you never met (nekkid even).
4. Waking up with your co-worker who may or may not be already married.
5. Waking up in the hospital and your lawyer and/or insurance agent want to know how the accident happend... you don't remember.
6. Waking up on the floor. A strange smelly bathroom floor. Or even your own... with dried vomit and urine on the side of your face.
7. Waking up in the hospital period.
The list goes on.
Maybe I'm biased... but having been clean and sober for the last 17+ years... I can say I'm damned glad I don't have those worries at all. And... IMO anyone who chuckles and says "heh, I don't either and I haven't quit drinking..." is a damned fool.
But ... that's just me.
Yes, that list is true if you're drinking irresponsibly. Which for me isn't the case. Two drinks isn't going to make me lose my head to the point I would end up in any of those situations without being consciously aware of it.
