No, I don’t think I have a problem with alcohol consumption. Heck, I may have something like a beer a month. I’m really not a big bar person or drinker and I don’t drink at home. It just doesn’t do much for me.
But I will drink socially, on the rare occasion it presents itself. And unless I stop at one beverage (and let’s be honest, how often does that happen?), I will feel the affects the next day.
Like I am today.
There was a gay chorus event at one of our local gay bars yesterday afternoon. I went to be supportive and to have a bit of fun. And it was fun. But I drank like 4 drinks. Gay bar drinks. Which, as we all know, are stronger than straight bar drinks.
I slept like crap all night, and I’m dragging serious ass today. Sometimes I think my body has problems processing alcohol, so it really takes a toll on me. And this isn’t like traditional hangovers where you have a headache and wanna puke and such. No, it’s mostly just being wiped. Like right now all I want is to sleep for like 4 hours.
If I had any vacation time, I’d have called in sick today. But I don’t- so here I sit at work. Typing this. And hoping I can find enough to keep me busy today.
