Wagon? What wagon?

Before you all hear it on the street, I kind of slipped.

I was at a barbeque the other night, and I had a couple of beers.

Not a LOT of beers…just a couple. Not enough to alter my perception in any way, or even feel it. But, you know, it was a party, and I figured a couple of beers wouldn't kill me. Besides, it was hot, and you know how refreshing a cold beer on a hot day can be.

Here's the thing…even though it was just a couple, I enjoyed them even more than I normally would have. It was nice to just enjoy them on my terms, rather than chug a bunch and get shitfaced, piss in the pool, and hump the furniture, which is what I normally do at barbeques.

No, instead, I had them, enjoyed them, stayed sober, and had a nice time.

I'm still "off" booze for now, but I really liked this whole "enjoying like a responsible adult" thing. It's new and fun.

Okay, I DID hump the furniture, but it had nothing to do with the beer. I just wanted to mark my scent on something.
