Anyone knows me that back in mid-September I stopped drinking. I went about five weeks and then decided I'd break the streak one Sunday for football. Since then I've pretty much only drank on Sundays, but this week, I fell off more than once. I had plans for the day and good food and free booze was being offered so I knew I'd want to indulge.
Last night I told someone I drank, but it really wasn't drinking. Then started thinking about it and told my buddy Pete, with whom I went into Brooklyn and the city about what I had said. Now Pete's a bartender, so he knows my ways, but this was funny. He actually repeated the story tonight for another customer and said "You know, Hopper put it best about how we're all not exactly the run of the mill guys. How bad is it, when you have four beers with lunch. I had two and a glass of wine. Then two hours later you stop for another beer. Half hour after that you stop and have another one. Then you get to the dinner and have four glasses of wine. That's ten drinks in about six hours and that's a day you didn't really drink."
Kinda scary!
