so my new year’s resolution that I had sworn myself to was to only drink wine when having drinks: this way, I get to learn more about the different variety of reds, and what I think it would pair well with. being that Cabernet Sauvignons and Pinot noir are the more popular varieties probably due to its pronunciation, this is where most of my understanding of red wine is centered on. but after a couple of flights of different syrahs that I had in napa valley, girrrrrl. and don’t even get me started with my desire to taste some amazing malbecs in mendoza, Argentina, as well as some chianti’s in Italy.
however last night, I drank beer at an Irish pub and my god did it feel good to get a buzz under the influence of hops and live music. I mean, come on now, give me a break: I was at an Irish pub, and my birthday is on saint Patrick’s day! an omen, for sure. in my defense, though, my first stop of the night was at a locale that is known for their extensive wine collection.
I don’t know what it is about my addiction to alcohol. do I have a problem? maybe, but it is definitely a lot less worse than those who attend AA meetings. What I don’t understand is how people can come to a negative conclusion about my lifestyle, when in reality, I’m functioning properly at my jobs that pay me well, furthering my education after undergrad school, and supporting myself financially for the past 8 years in a different place from all of my family? listen, I’m a Pisces: your secrets are safe with me (even though I don’t necessarily want the responsibility of knowing), but when trying to pry anything out of me, you just won’t be able to. add to the fact that I grew up traditionally Asian, and my “pandora’s box” is safer than a Swiss bank account.
so while I may be judging your appearance of being something/somebody you’re not, please don’t judge me by saying that I have a problem with alcohol. wait, can I even say that in the same sentence?
