My first beer

I never had a sip of alcohol until after I graduated high school. I was home alone one night, and was cooking my own dinner. My curiousity finally got the best of me, and I decided that I was going to try a beer with my dinner that night. I took one of my dads busch lights out of the refrigerator, and hurried to my room before some one seen me. I had a couple of sips, and ate my dinner. Honestly I didn't finish half the beer that night. The taste wasn't that good. In the morning, I snuck the beer outside and poured out the rest on the ground. I didn't have another beer until I was 19 at the county fair.

I was real worried after I drank the beer because of what I remembered I had to do the next morning. I had a dentist appointment, and I had to drive everyone else that morning. I was not aware of the effects a beer would have on me. I thought the dentist might be able to tell, so I brushed my teeth thoroughly. I was also very unsure about how it would affect my driving. I had just gotten my explorer a week or so before and was not entirely comfortable driving a 5 speed. I turned out okay on both fronts, but thats the way it was.

Part of my disinterest until that point had been my parents. I think my dad may have been drunk once up to that point, but he did usually have beer in the refrigerator. He drank several beers one night when a big rainstorm came up and nearly killed some of the crops. I can't think of my mom ever drinking much at all, especially more than one beer.

The first time I approached drunk was after I turned 20 and up in columbus. I was in the dorm with a cousin, and his girlfriend took us to a party. I drank a six pack of bud light and fell over on the way home. I also slept late and missed the homecoming parade for the football game. The next time I got drunk was off of vodka, and I threw up over some of the dorm room. My cousin convinced me that setting a popsicle in a vodka-kool aid drink would be a good idea. So we watched fight club and I got drunk.

In a related story, I finally surpassed the 2 mile and 500 calorie mark on my treadmill routine. I have lost some weight to the outside of where my abs would be, but have plenty of room for improvement. It is like I have little dimples in that spot now. One of the amigos was very interested in what I use the machine for, as he saw that I was getting ready and watched me the whole 28 minutes.
