Ok, I’ve got a couple of things for today.
First off, last night I managed to accidentally obey a few Alchemy rules.
- Don’t drink alone
- Don’t drink when angry
Always good advice. Both of those can make for a worse day than it may have already been.
I say accidentally because I totally planned on drinking last night. I was set on that by around 8 am. (It was that kind of day…) I received a gift of alcohol last Friday, and wanted to try it out. It’s some sort of orange Kahlua concoction. My first thought was to try it in chocolate milk. I’ll probably get to that this weekend. But yeah, yesterday was not a day I needed to be drinking. It was full of tiny little things that kept going wrong throughout the day. So… Being aggravated by many small things didn’t make for a good drinking set up. I ended up just going to bed after I gave up on the day.
Also, drink experiments kind of suck when you are by yourself. Drunken Alchemy really enjoys the social aspect of drinking. It’s pretty much what we promote around here. (Safety being the first.) It’s definitely more fun to share a new drink with someone vs sitting there by yourself thinking “Hey, good job me. I made something drinkable!”.
So hey, go me for being responsible. At no point should you ever feel bad about saying that. It’s a good thing. Promote that. Share that. Be proud of that.
