How often do you drink?

[CFH]

How old are you?

And, also, i believe you have a girlfriend, so that does change things also.. when i was living w/ my ex girlfriend i barely drank.. but i also worked strange hours on the weekend.. so we would drink occasionally when people came over, but didn't go out to the bars more than once or twice a week at the very most..

now that i'm single i'm always out w/ my guy friends drinking.

I'm 28, I tried to put that in my last post but it came out as (2.

Being single definitely increases alcohol consumption, I have no doubt about that.

oh, gotcha.. yeah, being single with no obligations to hang out with someone is great most times..

28.. you're still in your prime . i'm 24 next month, i'd like to think i've got a lot of years of drinking fairly often left.. Thing is i live in the smallest state in the US, while it has plenty of fun places to go, it still gets old, so now that i'm making more money it's a lot easier to go to NY for a weekend and not worry about what i spend.. boston is always a good alternative too. if i get a heavy enough rotation going then i'll be drinking for a while.

Nah, to borrow a cliched boxing analogy, I've been in too many wars. I like drinking, it's a lot of fun, but I just worry about the negative consequences these days. Especially considering how reckless I was in consuming everything I could get my hands on when I was younger. I'll never give up boozing entirely, but I feel that I need to cut back.

How far away from NYC, Boston etc. is Rhode Island? I live in Victoria BC, which has about 330,000 people living here, so it's a bit of a sleepy gov't/university town. Vancouver is about 2 1/2 hours away by boat/car though, so it's pretty easy to head over there for some fun. The only other decent city close by is Seattle, which is a bit more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to get to.
