remembering why

Yesterday (sunday) I spent the day remembering why I quit drinking like I was still 22 or 23. Hangovers now happen, and because of how much I drink when I get going, the hangover last nearly all of the next day. I drank about seven beers while watching shutter island, and then probably drank another seven between the time I went to my brothers campout and eventually went to bed around three in the am. In my younger days, fourteen beers would barely affect me at all the next day, and I could function and be normal for a day. I guess I need to take sobriety more seriously than I do now and not drink more than one beer on any occasion. I really don't have the budget to drink like that anymore anyways. I had been thinking that I wouldn't be able to drink enough to make myself sick enough to throw up, but I did manage to accomplish that saturday night.

I am getting excited about the reds season now. Ever since I have moved back home from college, I have been listening more and more. This year they are playing pretty well and its exciting. I have already been to three games this season, and have tickets for two more games. It would be cool to have a team in the baseball playoffs and be excited about a team at the end of the season. They have a tough schedule the next two weeks, but after that the all star break is happening and then they have a weak schedule. So all in all I am looking forward to it. I am going to have to remember to show more restraint the next time I go to a game, eating a whole bag of peanuts seems to make me a little sick. The worst part was I had the whole bag down by the start of the fifth and was too cheap to buy something to drink. So I had to wait to get home to drink some milk. It helped, but now it seems I have a sore throat and runny nose.
