A friend of mine and I were having a conversation about enjoying our drinks and the situations that make it difficult to enjoy drinking and he related something his father had said, which was along the lines of, "if I had it all to do again, I would spend more time drinking and drinking alone". I know a lot of people seem to think that drinking alone means that one is an alcoholic (which I think is some alarmist bullshit, until I see some real evidence), but the point is, having a drink is about enjoying the drink, not about using alcohol to make yourself enjoy something else. Life is too short for poor company, especially poor company while drinking.
Amen. Nothing makes a good social situation great like the perfect drink to accompany it. Sometimes, it's a high end whisky, and sometimes it's a shit quality beer, but they're all good in the right place and time.Life is too short for poor company, especially poor company while drinking.
