You can't remember the last time you were hungry, not really. Take care with your clothes, hair, makeup. Choose Levi's and a t-shirt, a braid, lip gloss. Looking natural isn't easy. At the bar, order a Pepsi.
People do it everyday.
You're funny and smart and you don't need alcohol to have a good time. You nod at the server and say, oatmeal stout. Drink it slowly. Have a glass of water. Laugh at the story your friend tells about asking her boyfriend to buy a box of Tampax on his way home.
