Inner Game: Why I Drink So Much

I've recently spent a lot of time telling myself to stop drinking so much when I go out. It's fucking expensive for one thing, and it's fun. But perhaps I need to find a new way to have fun when I'm out right? So instead of telling myself to stop drinking, let's first examine why I do drink.

1. I don't know lyrics to the songs, and I like screaming along. When I'm drunk, I don't mind so much that I'm rambling incoherent shit very loudly. All of the venues I go to are way too loud to do anything else by default. Don't be too concerned however, isolation is easy later on. So dude, print out some lyrics and learn some of the songs you KNOW you hear a lot and enjoy listening to the most, then build from there.

2. Some of these drinks are damn yummy :):) And when you spend 5+ hours somewhere, just one will never do! But damn... maybe time to switch up to coke for real. Clinking a coke with your drunken neighbor is not nearly as much fun though. From budget perspective, 1.75$ bud selects are cheap. Stick with those when you can!

3. I notice I am not as free and fluid in my version of "dancing" without drinking. However now that I notice what I do when I am drunk, I can slowly teach myself to do that less drunk/sober and push my comfort level there. Perhaps some dancing lessons will help, but nothing too formal. Just like.. Club Dancing 101!

I think that covers it. Also, painfully so, don't go OUT so much? I spent all of $20 last week, normally it's $100 a night.. and I can't afford that any longer.
