Why Do You Drink?

Someone asked me that at Zouk.
I remember being high enough not to think too hard and drunk enough to use that as an excuse for not answering properly.

Now, being completely sober...
I can attempt to answer.

I drink because I'm thirsty.
Wait... I'm not being my usual crappy self.
It's what I'm thirsty for...
A few months earlier, I drank to get drunk enough to forget why I was unhappy.
I drank, so I could find that bliss you feel when you're not thinking and your mind is focused only on what's in front of you.
I drank, so I could easily convince myself that I was happy, that nothing else in the world mattered except being happy there and then.
I drank for the moment, to live in the moment.
Am I making sense?

Maybe I need some alcohol to explain myself properly...

Anyway...
Now... I drink so I can get that same high I miss so much.
But now... it's less intense.
There's more control...
Then again, maybe it just takes more to get me drunk.
Nah...
I'm more content now.
I'm more settled now, so long as I'm not pressured to answer certain questions.

So now...
I drink to have fun.
That's not too bad is it?

I feel like dancing...
I miss ballet...

SIMply mates...
Scoopies galore!

Smiles all around please!
