down bottle after bottle, but then I wonder why I am there. Is it for the friends or the alcohol? Can I be a friend to friends who are drinking? There is something socially awkward about being sober at a bar with people consuming beverages, at times I feel like i put myself above them as I look at them and say, look at yourselves, barely making any sense as you dance around like a bafoon. Then I realize that it doesn't matter, for they are my friends and good friends are hard to come by. The older I get the more I realize I need to hold on to those friendships that were established through years of drinking and spilling the beans when I am retardly drunk. I don't know if I will be creating new friendships like that. So I put myself back on the same plain as them, buy them another round out of jealousy. i have never drank, and never plan to. I used to go out to the bars all the time, my friends would drink, I would just dance the night away and drive them home. Everyone always got home safely. I am thankful for my choice to never start drinking, I dont think it would have benefited me none. so i am perfectly happy just the way i am. Great post! I love all your flashback fridays, but this one is one of my favorites. I never was a big drinker. In fact
