Some perks of not drinking

leave a comment »

  • No more fearfully checking your outbox, facebook, and myspace to see if you sent anything embarrassing and irrevocable.
  • Similarly, not looking at your phone call log and wondering just exactly what you said when you called your ex 12 times between 3:34 and 4:17 a.m.
  • Where’d this stain on my brand new Marc Jacobs blouse come from?  Is it related to the stain on my comforter?  And are either of them related to the half-eaten chalupa on my pillow?
  • Not trying to catch a cab at 2:15 when every other drunk person in the city is trying to as well.  Parking is cheaper than the fare home, too.  Especially considering you waited in the Taco Bell drive-thru line to get the aforementioned chalupa with the meter running… when every other drunk person in the city is doing so as well.
  • No, I did not try and beat up that bouncer.  Really?  No, seriously, are you making that up?  OH MY GOD.
And that non-exhaustive list only covers nights out on the town.  There are many times I miss drinking, but I certainly don’t miss doing any of those things… over and over and over.
