Alcoholic Tendencies

When something or someone is pretty, you admire it, you take photo's, you think about what it would be like to be just like that. In my mind, alcohol can be beautiful and it makes things seem more appealing too.

Christmas Day has slowly become less exciting to me. Even the opening of presents has become an almost routine drawled out process. And the Christmas just gone, being my first Christmas being 18, everyone decided to get me alcohol related presents. Which I didn't necessarily mind.
Now, I was slightly sick on Christmas. When I say slightly I mean highly dizzy, a little vomiting, fevers, chills, migraines...
I didn't feel like eating too much but someone had a brilliant idea to numb some of the horrible feelings with a few Cosmo's, margarita's, tequila slammers, etc. And it did work. I put to good use my oversized glass I received which I have pictured above. The photo you may say, you can barely see what it is and I do have a clearer photo, but this one was a prettier.

Now the photo on the right is pre-drinks for New Years. We had other drinks also but these bottles just stood out as being oh so beautiful. I think that is why we chose them in the first place. New Years 2010-11 was quite enjoyable. Although I did not get my midnight kiss like I begged for (kind of) I did get a 1:25 am kiss. It was magical I must say. Myself and five girls and one of their boyfriends all left on the bus to Surfers Paradise high on life and our first year of being 18 for this event. By the time we got their, it was just myself and a friend left to go into the biggest party venue as the other's didn't want to pay the hefty cover charge (which was worth it). As midnight got closer, we drank our souls away and by the time the champagne exploded and confetti was everywhere, we were jumping, hugging and screaming our alcoholic brains off. The evening ended with a stumbling through Surfers around 4am. Everything looked amazing in this light. Even the alley ways which were dark, full of bad smells and creepy people seemed adventurous to us at the time.

The next image, I am pretty sure went along with New Years. But I can not be 100% sure. But every single one of these drinks, although girly were absolutely amazing. Raw Berry Smirnoff, which I haven't found since that night, Carnivale Vodka Cruisers, which taste just like apple and Watermelon Bacardi Breezers which tastes like lipsmackers.
They are always great choices to make the ugly look more attractive though.


I really do not condone underage drinking. I did, I wish I didn't. But I don't advise completely blocking underage people from alcohol as they need to build their sea legs so to say. Many of my friends who took their first drinks on the 18th or after, could barely walk after a few cruisers while the rest of us were able to push through constant drinking till 3 am. Although we would stumble home, we wouldn't need to be carried by 11pm.
I am still just only 18 and I go out most weekends, although we do give it a break every now and then to let our bodies catch up. I remember one weekend where it took us almost a whole week to regroup then as we felt better we had those pony neck bottles to our lips again.


But anyway, I will end it with the thought of me staggering home again through Surfers this weekend and a god unknown hour.


Stay sober.
