Alcohol issues and the Chicago Bulls Challenge

**mexitucky** · Jul 5, 12, 12:50 PM

How I feel right now, and how I've felt all morning makes for great momentum heading into the new season for me.

I'd give the Bobcats a run for their money every year.

Seriously, there's nothing wrong with wanting to unwind after a long day with an ice cold adult beverage or two.

I typically don't drink during the weekend unless I am out at dinner or watching a game at a bar. I make it for it on the weekend sometimes. I am 4-1 in July. Not bad.

2-2 for July...today isn't over yet HT haha!

Same here. And ironically enough, yesterday wasn't one of my losses.

I'll be going 0-7 starting Saturday though as I'm on vacation.

That's true.

I might have counted today too soon.

Now waitaminute … if you've never had a drink, how can you definitively say it never appealed to you? You have no frame of reference to be able to make such a declaration.

What's the old cliche — you never know until you try it.

I might try this in August, Vegas trip coming up!

So far I'm 1-1.

Good idea. I'm 4-0! Jordan better watch it.

I had you pegged as a lifetime perfect record.

This should be interesting. Right now we have HT, MJ, UKMF, and I keeping track from July 1 on. Anyone else in?

**bugatti** · Jul 5, 12, 05:47 PM

I am in. 2-2 to start out the month. With a wedding tomorrow night and being out of town until Wednesday, I might get off to a slow start. I track everything I eat/drink so it should be no biggie.

I can probabably count the number of games I've lost in a lifetime on two hands.

(To the shock of noone.)

I've witnessed one of those, correct?

Yes. And probably just that one.

Most of my losses can be blamed on RTS.

Okay, actually all of them can....except for the sip of champagne I had at my grandparents 50th in 1977, and the time my cousin slipped some bourbon into my Coke when I was about ten.

0-1. There is a cancer in the locker room, and he lives 2 doors down. I laughed a lot, so that may have neutralized the sangria that I had.

Will you be at a wedding Saturday in P-town?

The thought of drinking alcohol never appealed to me. I didn't like the effect it had on other people. I just never had any desire to try it. It doesn't always work, but I try to learn from other people's mistakes, and not my own. Plus, while I have never had a drink of alcohol, I have smelled alcohol and find it repulsive.

I'm the same way w/ cigarettes. Never touched them. The smell was just too much to even think about it.
