what do you hate doing sober?

Janis Joplin's "Trouble in Mind" just popped on my ipod and it occurred to me... listening to Janis really really makes me want to drink. :hmm:
 
I only like to drink when I'm happy.

I never understood those who "drink to forget" or "chase the blues away", as my understanding of trying to obliterate your superego with alcohol is that it just lets the stuff you were stewing about in the first place come to the fore, and the few brain cells you have left tend to fixate on it, like a dog on a bone.

An angry or maudlin drunk is no fun for anyone, and especially for the stupid-assed drunk him or herself.
 
Painting. Thats about the worst thing to do sober. Its no wonder most professional painters are drunks.
 
Barfing? I don't know, I honestly prefer to be sober while doing almost anything I can think of at the moment.

Okay, I gave it some thought and I hate being around drunks when I'm sober. Nothing is more annoying than being around a bunch of drunk people while sober.

I could see your line of thinking, and I guess everyone will have their own style:

me?
my primary style for drinking is when I am in a good mood.

But I also drink, not to forget, but to recover. 😉
Say it was a really stressful day, or I'm stressing out and that's having an impact on me during the evening (say, trying to do homework. Or, I can feel it in my neck and/or back and just don't feel comfortable, because of the stress). Or, if I let it build up, a really, really bad week.

Alcohol is recovery. And hell, it literally does the physiological work. It relaxes the CNS, and if it's my body that is bothering me, that helps force the muscles to relax.

But yeah, trying to get rid of bad feelings, you can't approach alcohol like that. That's asking for trouble too. And hell, for the "recovery" aspect, all I need is a good drink or two. My full-strength Caucasians do the trick for me. 😀 1 Part Vodka, 1 Part Kahlua Especial (70p), 1 or 2 parts milk. The 70proof Kahlua is the trick, versus the weaker regular Kahlua. 🙂

I wouldn't brag about it, she's like 60 years old and 75 pounds overweight 🙁

That plays right into my answer...sexoring ugly fat wimmenz. That's one sport that has to be played drunk on your ass. (just be sure to leave before morning so you don't have to chew off your arm to escape.)
