Alak Pa!

I don't know what's with people and alcohol. During the times that I partied a lot umiinom talaga ako. Alcohol has always and will always be part of partying. But I was never a drunkard or even alcoholic man lang. To be honest, there were probably a couple of times that I drank a little too much and would be left clueless of what happened the previous night. Iilang beses lang yun, swear! Oftentimes, madaya ako uminom. Laging tumatakas sa inuman. Kung di man eh, nagpapalusot sa tagay. "Best in hilu-hiluhan at lasing-lasingan" din ang peg ko madalas.

Last night I got a text message from someone close to me asking for help. Syempre being the drama queen that I am, taranta ako. He had me scurrying to their place only to find him drunk as hell. Problemado si friendship. Couldn't even look at me straight. Couldn't even talk straight. Hirap mag-asikaso ng taong lasing, mahirap mag-payo sa lasing. Lasing na naghahanap pa ng alak. To quote myself ,"Kung maso-solve ng alak yang problema mo, ibibili pa kita ng 3 case ng redhorse". Kaso the thing is, hinde naman mangyayari yun eh. Magkaubusan man ng laman ng wallet, di mauubos ang problema. Kahit nga mabawasan hinde nun kaya gawin eh.

Ewan ko ba why (some) people feel as if alcohol can give them answers to their life-long questions, provide them peace of mind and give solutions to their humongous problems. All it give's you is a terrible hangover the next day apart from the bad decisions and tons of humiliating acts you've committed while you were a dimwit under the influence of alcohol. I rest my case.
