Does anyone else seem to find that everyone is obsessed with alcohol?
All people seem to have to speak about is having a glass of wine, beer after work, beer at the weekend….how ‘leathered’ they were at the weekend…and i’m not talking kids here, i’m talking about grown adults 30-50 years of age. I find the whole thing a tad cringe worthy.
My penchant is mountain biking and it has taken me all over the world ad i’ve loved ever single minute of it. At a recent party i was asked why i wasn’t getting on it…i’m riding tomorrow, up early and all that. ‘What is the point of that’ was the answer. What is up with these people? Are their lives that nonexistent that all they have to live for is getting drunk over the weekend?
I foolishly agreed to do some guiding (up a mountain in Snowdonia) a while back and all the group could go on about was getting the walk done and sinking a few pints.
My facebook feed is awash with people posing with glasses of wine or beer. Having a bottle of ‘fizz'(I effin that effin phrase by the way!) at 6.30am because they are at an airport. Is that REALLY necessary?? They go to a marvellous destination, see eff all of it and post 80+ photos of various poses around a bloody swimming pool with bottles of beer? Bore off and go and do something worthwhile.
Maybe its me??
I dont know, but as someone who is damn near tee total now i find myself noticing how much alcohol is an active part of peoples lives.
Don’t get me wrong live and let live and all that. It just bores me…maybe i need some new mates? 🙂
