A lot of people I met when I used to drink didn't seem boring, but when I went into bars later not drinking and they were.......they were sure boring.
I get drunk just to spend time with myself. Nobody can call you and ask you to go anywhere. "Sorry, drunk." It's nice to not have anything to do but get sloshed. I've been cutting down on my drinking though. Shame such a Shame, I think I've kind of lost myself again.
