alcohol is a taboo .........
atleast that is what people prefer to tell the moment it pops up in a regular conversation , but to tell you the fact the people who usually prefer to refrain from this topic usually turn out to be the most voracious drinkers the world has ever seen , so basically translating to the fact that me being a self confessed social drinker and am equally at ease with all forms of alcohol as i am with either juice or water so hardly makes any difference to me more so when conditions are such, sometimes the break between two pegs is more than 6 months and sometimes it is not even 6 hours , and in both conditions i am more than at ease with it.
oh yes coming back to the topic of alcohol, i remember the day i had my first taste of it , it was a bitter tasting smelly liquid which i had a hard time digesting, i was even more suprised that people loved this substance and that they actually relished the experience of drinking it , celebrated drinking it too and it was really expensive ...
WELL THAT WAS THEN......
now quite a few years down the line those lines i just wrote above have been rendered obsolete(unfortunately) and my notions about the stinky bitter liquid i had first tasted have changed and i like many others who shared a very similar notion for the LIQUID in the beginning have become a connoisseur of sorts of the liquid .
this transition from a teetotaler to a drinker to a social drinker to the person that i am time has taken a fair amount of time and it has been a very interesting journey indeed .
today i am not even a social drinker if i can call myself so , so i have come up with a new name for people who surprisingly happen to fall in the same category , im an AS IS WHERE IS drinker and to cut the long story short i basically fulfill all my demand whenever i come across free booze ..
now !! now !!!!!!!! no misconceptions here please , i am not a cheepo its just that i hate to spend on cheap booze , and my friends are obsessed with the stuff lower down the price list so i usually have acess to that stuff and i make the most of it , but i have better taste and i am not bragging when i say this but for a guy like me who stays in a SARKARI , mind you SARKARI college far away from home spending a 1000 bucks on a bottle of alcohol is unheard of , so when i do spend which is even more rare than the blue moon occuring i do relish on good booze (read : SCOTCH)..
also im not a whiskey guy at heart but given my situation that is what is on offer for free most of the time so i make the most of every opportunity before me , im more of the beer guy , i started off with it anyway so it has always been close to my heart , i have always had a soft corner for the BITTER ones , and when i say this i am leaking a secret as i hate other bitter stuff readily available around me ( read : KARELA) , but it always has been beer for me all the way , its cheap, hits well, lasts long , the trip slope gradients are much smoother i.e the trip comes and goes smoothly, and best of all i have never had a hangover with it ( not even sure u have a hangover with beer or not) but beer it is all the way, and given my stringent standards , usually other forms of alcohol dont make the cut ( applicable only when i am buying for myself)
and i know that once having gone through this post you too drink and have your own notions of the stuff but well that is your notion anyway , not mine , but i would love to know of it so please spend some time and jot it down and comment on the space below .....
