The last time I drank was around 3 years ago and now I no longer thirst for alcohol. Scince that time I have been among the 1-3 sober people at every party I've been to. During my time at these party's I have been learning alot about alcohol.

The people (that drink) at the party's that I go to seem to have lost all self esteem. They all talk about how many guys/girls they have hooked up with, in some way or another. I ask them if they were drunk or had been drinking, and the answer is yes 95% of the time. Some of my friends have never begun a relationship or kissed a girl/guy sober and the rest, only a couple of times. Now after 4 or 5 years of drinking, They have all come to the same conclusion...I need alcohol to get girls/guys. The effects lower morality, they make it ok because you can say.... "or I was just drunk," the list goes on but is a waste of time to type because most already no of the things I'm talking about.

So now I get to my question, It is directed too those who fit the descripton of these friends. Looking back at all those "hook-ups" Do you feel good about the fact that it really wasn't you who "hooked-up" with anyone. That you couldn't or wouldn't have done anything without your friend Jack Daniels. You now need alcohol to meet the opposite sex(I don't know how it works with gays but I imagine the same), because you are to week to do it sober. Do you have so little faith in being yourself that inorder to accomplish anything that has to do with love you need alcohol. Do you realize that you have no self esteem.

If I were to ask any of my friends about this they would become defensive, because it is kind of an attack on them, so I can't talk to any of them about it. I want some answers from some of the people described above, and others who can see what I'm talking about. WHy can't people just be themselvs, I promiss we can have a good time and a big party, If you just be yourselvs and quit worrying what everyone else is doing, or thinking, cause it doesn't matter. If you like someone why is it so hard for yoou to talk to them sober tha you need to become someone else. The person you like might like the real you alot more than the fake you.

I guess I am just ranting because I'm fed up with drinking, drunks, drugs, and wemon.
