Me and my friend once was in our local hospital when a man we never set eyes on before came walking past with a “it’s a boy” balloon in his hand. We got talking to him and his wife had just given birth after a long labour. So we took him to the pub at the end of the road to wet the babies head. We had never set eyes upon him before and worst of all we never remembered the poor child name. Always used to be a funny tale around all the boys over the years, but how sad was that really a sad excuse to get wasted

I did a successful NHS alcohol detox using Librium for about a week and thought bloody hell what a week I’m so proud of myself for getting through this and being sober and fresh and not giving up.
I’ve definitely learned my lesson i decided to celebrate with a couple of drinks I’ve earned this😂

Used to go to bars to watch soccer a lot even though I don’t care about the game … just to be able to drink with my friends who are fans. Sigh.
Went to a lot of shows of bands I don’t like, just because it’s socially acceptable to get drunk there. Sometimes I even went alone, you get swallowed by the crowd anyways.
List goes on … I didn’t need a reason to drink alone but always found a reason if drinking around other people.
it’s always someone’s birthday.

I grew up in a house where everyone drank every night. We don’t need any reason. It’s 5 (or 3 or 4), time to drink until you’ve had too much and need to go to bed.
I am surprised how functionally dysfunctional we all are.

It’s your birthday so I’m getting drunk. True story, I went to a music festival with a good friend of mine for his birthday and I got shit faced. I ruined a good friendship that day.
