My 2¢

So this semester a lot of people have been commenting on my alcohol consumption and how they seem to think I’m an alcoholic. I don’t agree with these accusations but they don’t really bother me. I know I’m not addicted to liquor because if I was I would be drinking some right now (which I would rather be doing than studying for my final). I’ve gone plenty of weekends without drinking or even partying. But I can understand that accusations since I’ve been partying a little hard these pass couple of weeks. But I party hard because of the friends I have…if they want to drink and I have all my work done, then hell yeah I’m gonna drink; and if it’s free liquor I’m gonna be the first one there waitin for a full red cup. What I do think is funny is the reasons why people think I’m an alcoholic (or just like to call me one).

Reason #! “you spend your whole pay check on alcohol and partying”

How would you know? Do you know how much I make? Do you know the price of the liquor I typically buy if I do buy any? NO, (alaetra). But to clarify I do have a problem with spending my paychecks but it’s not on liquor. The first reason why this is a problem is that I get paid minimum wage. That shit isn’t e-fucking-nough to deal with weekly expenses. I also have to buy all of my own groceries which fucking adds up (props to my parents for being able to feed a family of 5 feeding 1 is fucking hard). After groceries comes any social activity that involves going out, like the movies or lunch with a friend. that takes care of more than half my pay check right there. Next comes anything I feel like buying other neccesary things like toothbrushes, ink for my printer, anything that I could fucking need during the school year. At the end of all of that comes liquor, which only costs 20 dollars if you know what and where to buy it. So Reason 1 for me being an alcoholic is BULL.

Reason #2 “I see your facebook statuses”

So the fuck what. If my status says I’m going out, than I’m going out. It doesn’t mean that I”m drinking. And even though I usually am drinking when I’m out (thurs - sat), I’m not always getting drunk. I actually haven’t been really drunk in weeks. Usually I’m that person making sure everyone else is ok. So yeah my facebook statuses say i’m going out not I’m getting obliterated tonight, I checked (that excludes statuses during spring break because we had nothing better to do than drink ourselves into oblivion, if you were here you’d understand). Reason#2 FAIL

Reason #3 “Every time I see you you have a bottle in your hand”

I almost wanted to ignore this one completely considering that the person who said this to me told me i needed triple A rather that AA, I usually don’t respond to people who don’t know what they’re talking about. But this person’s reason was just retarded when you consider the fact that I only remember seeing him 1 time while I was out. And it’s not that I don’t remember because I was drunk, it’s because it really was only one time; according to him it’s been 2 times that he’s seen me out with a bottle in my hand. So he’s basing this entire theory of my alcohol problem on the 2 times he’s seen me in almost a year. The first time he saw me, I was bringing the bottle to a party that was happening at his dorm room this summer. I don’t see a problem in that. And even if I do always have a bottle, I have an excuse… I don’t like getting to a party and they’re out of fucking liquor. That’s a problem and if I can avoid it I will. And I always share my liquor so it’s not like I’m drinking a handle to myself. Reason #3 PURE STUPIDITY

But if you wanna call me an alcoholic, that’s fine. Just realize that you’ll probably be asking me for a drink and I’ll be the one without the hangover the next day because this “alcoholic” knows his limit.
