I never understood the need for so many guys to drink. Is it so hard to lay off? yeah, it's so much more fun to drink, but it's not that hard to get used to. I'm not really a social drinker. MAYBE some wine if I'm out with a chick, or a Bailey's and Coffee perhaps. Beyond that, I just drink water. I like to have a good time as well, and if that's the plan for a special occasion, I go all out and get wasted, but still try and drink lower calorie alcoholic drinks. Light beers, Stoli O and club soda. Overall though, it's really an all or nothin type deal.
