I came to this realization two weekends ago. It was the weekend before my state championships, so I was planning on taking it easy. Then, that friday during the day, I got invited to a big party. Throughout the day, I kept telling my self that I wasn't going to go because it was the weekend before states. Then, I realized that there was absolutely no way that I wasn't going to go, and there was no way that I wasn't going to get drunk. I feel as if when there is alcohol at a party, I just cant turn it down. I've been to parties before where I decided that I wasn't going to drink, and before I know it, i have a beer in my hand. And then one beer turns to two, two to three, and so on. Also, a few days ago when someone asked me to describe a perfect day, I realized it went something like this, sleep till twelve, go for a run, go to one of my friends house, get drunk with all my friends, then go to a party and hook up with girls. When i'm being completely honest with myself, going to parties, getting drunk, and hooking up with girls is probably my favorite activity, or at least second favorite. Just some more details: I drink whenever there is a party, the way it usually happens is there is like a 5 week period where I will drink every weekend, and then a month or so where there are no parties. I would never even consider drinking by myself, or drinking in the morning, or at school or anything like that. So, is this normal? Or am I developing a drinking problem.
