Another Hangover? Seriously?!

I gotta stop drinking so damn much!  I'm getting real tired of these hangovers.  And I hate how hangovers effect me as I get older.  You see, kiddies, when you're young, a hangover is just a really bad headache and maybe some pukers.  But when you get old like me, they become much more insidious.  I don't sleep well, so I'm dragging ass all the next day.  My head hurts, so that's the same as you youngsters.  But I'm also a complete fucking idiot.  I can't process things to save my life.  Simple conversations, simple directions, basically anything and everything becomes that much harder.  I walk around in a complete fog all day long.  It sucks.  And if I got especially drunk the night before, then my equilibrium is off and I'm constantly dizzy.

Yeah, so I gotta lay off the sauce.  I know I'm an alcoholic.  I've known for a while now.  But I also know that the scare tactics that are in place make it seem like all alcoholics are the same and all alcoholics fall-down drunks.  This is not the case.  Its a personal, one-on-one relationship.  Its easy, really.  Who's in control, you or alcohol?  Its not this "how many nights do you drink?  How many drinks do you have?" bullshit.  That's all a bunch of scare tactic bullshit.  Like I said, its one-on-one.  And as far as I'm concerned, when I drink, alcohol is pretty much in charge.  So I watch myself.  I've tried to cut out shots entirely.  Bad things happen when shots are involved.  And I try not to drink every single night.  You know, keep things in check.  Because I really don't want to go back to the meetings.  And I really don't want to quit drinking again.

So yeah, I need to lay off the sauce a tad.  You know, just give the ole body a break for a bit.  Because I'll tell ya, the ole body is starting to get a little pissed.......
