If I had a dime for every time I heard the word "beer" uttered today...

When I was coming home yesterday, there were dozens and dozens of people lined up in front of the Irish pubs on my street.

Somehow I found it pathetic, but I am too judgmental I think.

I think it`s healthy for folks to get out and socialize. I was out, had a great time. Downtown was alive, people riding a good vibe.
In this day of the internet, home theatres, slot machines, ect. people need more reasons to get out and meet each other. (in moderation of course).

Hmmm...I'm somewhat conflicted on this. I agree that revelry has its place. In fact, it's one of the wondrous aspects of being alive.

On the other hand, I kind of see where Carlos is coming from, and it was kind of at the back of my mind when I made this post.

I think I would feel differently about those queues if I didn't know that most of those people were waiting for their chance to get floor-trash wasted.

Celebrating loses a lot of its allure when you're puking all over yourself. (just ask JK :)

disclaimer: I enjoy drinking. At time this has led to highly undesirable side-effects.

yeah, just give renamaphone a bit of alone time and she'll be fine. 20 minutes man, 20 minutes.... and she makes her glorious comeback.

I went to the "foriegner" bar and got quite wasted. There was no vomitting and I stayed till 6am (bars dont have 'closing time' here). It was really fun, and I met a bunch of new people. The only problem is, I fear if I want to continue to see these people and call them my friends, there will only be one place to find (most of) them. It was kind of cool to let lose like that, but I sure don't want to do it all the time.
