With viewing rates plummeting, I resort I writing this one in a phase between drunk and hungover, naked, at 3am.

Right so the last two or three blog posts have been done sober, which makes a startling change to the style of writing, the content consisting of stuff (sometimes funny) that's happened to me, or I've thought of, in the last few days. Before then it's just mainly been drunken ramblings, or stories that I find hysterical at the time but I dont know...


Anyway so I did Dry January this year, and I've just got back from my first night out on the town fueled by alcohol of 2014, not counting New Years Eve. I met some fantastic people, danced a LOT with many beautiful ladies...and now, at 3am, I feel like shit. I have a £60 hole in my back account. I have a ringing in my ears.

I was much happier in January, sober. Only Friday night, at a work leaving do, I had an awesome time sober, enjoyed many good laughs, and woke up the next morning not feeling like garbage. I've been to the pub in January without drinking. I've been out clubbing without drinking. All of those occasions trumped tonight. And tonight I did enjoy up until the winding down. And the hunting for a taxi. My feet are killing me.

I'm going back to not drinking. I feel healthier. I feel more energetic (though that is probably down to the energy drinks (which by the way have left my feeling like I've left half my internal organs as patté)) Anyway I know some of my friends will scoff at the idea of being happy without being drunk, but I've proven to myself that I dont need alcohol to have a good social time, and now tonight I think I've proven to myself I dont even want it either.

I dont want to turn into someone who is always looking forward to the next drink. Or the next night out where they can drink. I know there is more to do out there than go to the pub with your friends. It seems weird to say it but my friend mentioned it on the taxi ride home tonight, that when you do plan a night out, it nearly always simply involves going to the pub.

I'm not saying this to nag or whatever, it's just nice to know if anyone reads this I can imagine my need for attention is being sated. Also I went a day (not on purpose) this week where I left my phone at home while I was at work, and wasn't plugged into twitter and facebook all day. I found that also raised my mood considerably. NIGHT!
