I feel Bad for drinking last night...

[dennisflorida]

I'm not much of a drinker. I do like a beer every so often and a lot of my friends drink.

And the one guy I do hangout with every so often is a big drinker to the point of

getting hammered whenever he does drink. I never drink to get drunk. And seriously,

i only drink maybe a beer every 4-5 months. Maybe some wine with dinner every

6 months.

 

I went out to a rock club with him two nights ago and he bought a round,

then i bought a round, and long story short, i ended up spending $46

bucks and drank 5 beers. I felt terrible the next morning. Headache and

stomach ache and felt bad for wasting that money when I don't have

much.

 

I don't even know WHY i did it. I guess I felt bad that he bought a round

and then I felt like I should buy one, one thing led to another. He was venting

about work, the wife, we were catching up and it just got away from me. I

really hated the drunk feeling too. I was stumbling to the car which is SO

terrible and i hate that I was like that.

 

I don't ever want to feel guilty like this or feel terrible like that again.

 

I feel really bad for wasting that money. Me and my wife have been

scrimping and saving for a while. I mean I did just get a raise

at work this week and maybe i sort of felt like celebrating is some weird way, but i regret it so much. I feel bad for drinking when i don't really drink and feel bad for wasting money.

 

I don't know why i did it.

You did it because you felt good while you were doing it and booze makes you want to sustain that feeling, so you keep drinking more.

 

Don't stress out about it. Drinking lots, spending lots of money and getting drunk every so often is not a big deal.

 

You seem to have a really negative view on alcohol and that's fine I guess.... until you start hating yourself for having a good time.

It can be a big deal, but I don't think this time qualifies as that. You had a night out. You celebrated, you had a good night, and now you're regretting the partying and the subsequent consequences. Chalk it up to a rare night of letting loose. From the voice of recent experience, trust me - it could have been a lot worse.

You went out and blew off some steam, had a few too many- happens to the best of us. I don't see it as something to get bent out of shape over.

If you go out with this guy again, arrange to take a cab...
