Just out of curiousity.

I don't drink because:

-Alcohol, including beer, smells terrible
-Drunk people aren't any fun to be around
-It lowers your inhibitions which are there for a reason
-It's expensive
-Until recently I've never been around someone who can drink just to relax, so it has a very negative connotation in my mind

You don't sound like you're any fun to be around.

I would argue that people just think they're funnier and the life of the party when they and the people they are with are also drunk.
Ask a sober person how funny a drunk is.

I actually have a personality, I don't need alcohol.

If you do though, that's cool.

Trying to quit. Going on... two weeks. Okay, minus one day in the middle. Was drinking every day previously though.

This morning I woke up in bed with absolutely no recollection of how I got there. Apparently drinking Patron straight out of the bottle doesn't do any good for a quick drunk, but develops overtime until about an hour and a half later, you're blacked out.

My roommate called me this morning to say that when he gets back in town, he's going to show me the voicemails I left him.

I only remember calling him once. !!!

PS: I love tequila.

There's not much that you can do to get rid of it completely, but here are some thing that always make me feel better:
- Get some exercise, even if it's just a walk through the park. Must be outdoors
- Eat fresh fruit, don't bother with the greasy burgers even though that's what you really crave
- Lots of water (obviously)
- Coffee
- Go for a swim in the ocean (this is magic if available)

burnt toast (for the carbon) and eggs are supposed to be good

usually, whatever i may drink, even if im really drunk i know my limit and make sure to have a glass or two of water before im done for the night. makes a world of difference if done before you pass out
