Flashback
Apparently the guys liked my story of how I had one too many the other weekend. I know it was an allergic reaction, but you never know. I am glad I quit drinking again. I have had my share of drunken stories in my twenties. I remember one time waking up in Austin at a chinese girls house on her couch. As I looked around me everyone was on the floor eating soup, speaking Chinese and my shoes were off in a corner with everyone else's. I woke up and wondered - what in the world happened? Where am I? Finally one of my friends came into the living room and I remembered we went to Austin that night and saw a friends band play.
Another time was when I first came to Dallas and hung out with all of my AT&T coworkers alot. So one of them had this big party at their apartment complex and that was when I discovered Jello shots. Who knew that something so innocent as Jello, something Bill Cosby tells kids to eat, could contain poisonous alcohol. So by the end of the party I was loopy with my head spinning and I decided to spend the night at the hostesses apartment with the rest of the drunken clan. That was when I experienced the dark underside of drinking. As I stayed up all night on the couch with my head spinning people asleep on the floor had trash bags near them and were shisking. I, of course, always refuse to. But at around 5 AM I couldn't help it anymore and gave the sink and dishes in the sink...ok..can't talk about it...still too traumatic.
I have other stories, but there is a big moral to the story. Don't drink or you'll be sorry. Sure you can drink, just remember you will be sorry you did. At some point you will drink too much and suffer the consequences. I quit drinking years ago cause I did not want to enable alcoholics who can't control themselves. I never wanted to condone drinking because of all of the bad effects that it has on the person drinking and the people around them. Now I have another reason - allergies. I suppose that's as good as any. I don't want to relive the past anymore. Or am I doomed to repeat it?
