Ok I have debated doing this post all day and I said why the hell not. And be warned, this may sound bitter, but at this point I really don’t care. One thing you have to know about me, that is important to this post is, to get me mad things have to build up till I reach a breaking point, which happened this weekend. I’ll over look things but if it keeps happening, I will go off. I know I should stop this before it starts and I’m starting to do that
As many of you know who read the blog know I have gout, and that I am 95% sure my days of drinking are over. It will be very rare that I drink again and then it will be very little. Which sucks right now because with my job I need a drink every now and then. But It ain’t going to happen.
But this weekend, since some of my friends found out that I won’t be drinking, they seem to think that I will be the designated driver for them. And I will say I’ve done it in the past and have not minded it but, this is out of control. One thing I hate more then anything is being the drunk babysitter, it always ruins my night. Because something will be said or done by the drunk friend and the night is shot to hell, and I’m not doing that any more. I’m tired of it and its time some friends take responsibility for themselves and I’m DONE. Granted I’m not saying I’ll leave them out in the cold, I’d rather take them home then them get a DUI but with that said, I want to go out and have fun as well. Which is only fair.
To me its rude to assume just because I can’t drink that I will be the DD. I have had friends ask me would I mind and I usually say yes. But I draw the line at sloppy drunks that get annoying. Like I have said I have had many nights that were fun and I had a good time until, one of the drunk friends did something to f*ck up the evening. And the f*ck up would not have happened had they not been drunk. And I have learned one lesson in life, NEVER ARGUE WITH A DRUNK, because you will not win and nothing will be accomplished.
I don’t think I’m asking for much, I think I want some common courtesy and it not be assumed I will drive you home just because I don’t drink. If you are a friend I hang out with, you better ask me before you get drunk but because if you do, I will have a number of a cab company and will use it. And you better have money to pay the cab
