After Work Drinks

There is one vital guideline to adhere to when partaking in after work drinks -- one rule which will spare you great discomfort and potential disaster. As we all know, there are few slopes more slippery than the "One Drink, Two Drinks, Three Drinks, Sure Let's Have Another Trail." There's sharks in them thar waters, because nothing tastes better after a nice tall beer than -- yep -- another tall beer.

The rule is so simple and obvious it's probably not worth mentioning, but I broke it last night, so let me say it again: eat something, fool. A steak, a sandwich, hell, even a slice of pizza. But eat something, for the love of all that is bright and shiny and good. Otherwise, you run the risk of becoming THAT GUY. The one who can't seem to stand without swaying. The one uttering sheer nonsense everytime he opens his big, beer swilling yap.

Nobody wants to be that guy.

Well, I take heart in knowing that at least a few of us haven't mellowed with age.

And I take back what I said about nobody wanting to be "That Guy", 'cuase I can think of quite a few stubborn jackasses who still take pleasure causing discomfort and consternation.

Not naming any names, of course.
