I thought my risks with alcohol were something I developed on my own

But here we are, Christmas day, and mom offers me a white claw + vodka in a lidded Seahawks cup for the trip ahead of us,

It's also cultural, in colder areas people drink more alcohol because the winter months drive them indoors. Not to mention traditional in a way, as the consumption of alcohol is bound to follow a family since children grow with their parents, even absentee ones.

I'm talking about my mom offering a drink for riding passenger on the road, not just drinking

But like ... was it a tough road trip. Like .... here you're gonna need this drink to survive ... or just like .... have this alcohol because I have a problem with alcohol ?

Nah, it was like, "Merry Christmas! Have a white claw with vodka for the road!"

And the drama that occurred on the phone was the only drama all day, minus my internal drama of getting deadnamed and misgendered all afternoon and evening

it's perfectly legal in some states to ride shotgun with a loaded drink. plus, you're mixing your alcohol with even more alcohol. sounds like a double win to me.

A double win is the pun of the day.

Also deffo not legal here

That shit is definitely a combo of genetics and the environment in which you were reared.

Addiction runs on both sides of my family, and my dad was a barely-functional alcoholic and terrible father through my teenage years through to last year, when he finally put down the fucking bottle, at least for now.

I am very conscious of my own tendencies toward substance abuse, I sometimes rely on alcohol to numb the bad feelings. I'm lucky I haven't fallen in a hole I can't climb out of.

I haven't had a drink in two weeks. Not a long time in the grand scheme, but it's a big step. I don't want to be like my father, or his father, who by all accounts was ten times worse. That's what I think about when I pass the beer aisle.

I'm not about to tell you what to do, you're a grown adult, but I think I can empathize at least a little bit as far as alcohol goes.

 

I don't know why I'm blogging here but we didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose us.

For real, I'm very conscious about the amount of consumption myself, but sometimes I just like to have a well-disguised drink while I stroll
