Drunks sure can be boring!

[bif]

Had my B-I-L and S-I-L and a family friend over for dinner the other night. They were drinking and I was sober. Talk about some boring conversations! Five hours of sleep-inducing blather. The highlights of the evening were a discussion of roofing shingles and a lengthy description of the friend's interactions with the quality control inspector at her workplace!!! Wow! Maybe it would have been more interesting if I was drinking.

1. I get high on others getting giddy and sweet when

they are drinking and I don't. Quit 12 years ago for the final time.

2. They tend to repeat themselves and

believe they’re witty.

I’d be thinking, “Pass out, already . . . “

3. My drunk was functional for the most part

Buying GIANT bottles of wine until a few weeks ago when he slugged the gallon down in an hour and was falling all over thr floor

4. It is nearly impossible to have a real conversation with somebody who's drunk.

They ramble on about nothingness. An act as if they are the coolest people on earth. Alcohol is an arrogance inducer.

It is difficult coping with a whole family of drunks, especially when they get together. It would’ve been easier to stay drinking but I’m so glad I quit more than 20 years ago. Wouldn’t trade that clarity for anything in the world.
