If I could advise anyone, it would be start drinking as early as possible. Haha why because you might have to slow down at a certain age, not because your wife or your kids will do it, your stupid rotting body will regret it next morning.
We started drinking around 23 which is so officially late, seriously its such a sham my parents build around it. At least we were lucky none of us wasn't inhibited about it. As I was looking at all the old pictures, it struck me we did drink it all.
Lets start with the first phase. Every person starts with a cocktail with like 10 mls of vodka. You start liking it for the sweet buzz it gives you. When its the beginning of evolution, its just 3 drinks sometimes, you don't even care for hydration, sleep it off, wake up with the worst hangover, puke here puke there and lesson learned. Eat and drink enough with cocktails. Yep, as if its gonna help the older version of you.
Then comes the dancing in pub phase. I have danced in chennai pubs like anything. What we did was get drunk before you reach pub. Smart strategies. You start making your own cocktails, margaritas, bloody marys, sangrias, pina colada. Still on a more sweeter level the alcohol journey goes on. You order food, try all the restaurants nearby not knowing the future you is going to envy your metabolism so hard.
As the last one starts wearing off, you move on to the rum with coke phase with cheaper biryani to manage home party costs. In India it is so much easier, get pizza with so many vegetarian options. Some days you have vodka with orange juice. See cocktails are getting simpler now. After some time, you start cooking pasta at home to go with your rum gin vodka tequila. You are still owning it with 6 drinks and still dancing partying ohh what life. You get those disco lights home theatre and life is party from friday to sunday.
Ohh you are approaching the end of an era but you still don't know. Rum coke works but now you are making more home food avoiding all the calories, who can forget old monk n rum. Then your friend takes you to goa and you find port wine.Goa is party heaven of course. Any pub any dance floor is apt. Beach side shacks serve awesome food. We went on a company outing and one of our south indian friends went into a dance battle with britishers. Haha rumba fun matcha. Another group of friends with whom I shared hukka actually had the guts to fight those bulky human gatekeepers. Who can forget random tequila shots. Life's a party. Then comes the wine phase accompanied with rum sometimes. If someone offers whisky, you say it doesn't suit your taste. You are young you are not going to drink whisky. Its for old hairy bearded people in old style pubs. Pakoras cashews now you have your own selection of chakna ( snacks ). You are trying wraps salads everything with it. Save these moments, click pics so you do remember how much you ate drank slept. You have perfected the art of hydration.
Then one day whiskey comes back in picture. You are nearing thirty, you don't want to drink coke or unhealthy snacks that were once your life. So that gives way to wine and salad. Ohh you sophisticated you or should i say old you. Well, whiskey isn't so bad, you give it a try, in few months you are buying jameson irish whiskey or jim bourbon and gulping it with water and ice. Out of blue you want to have captain morgan krakken spice rum, it was awesome with coke so yeah what happens next kills your spirit. You were awfully careful about drinking enough water, eating healthy sufficient homemade curry yogurt. Still you poor soul wake up in the middle of night with stomachache, you can't sleep because of the sugar high coke gave you. Its not hangover that kills, it is how it irritates your intestine. Next morning you are so regretting those 3 drinks. And you decide I am gonna stick to whiskey. Thats how your body lets you know you are old you are dying your body is losing water so my friend drink less sleep early.
My advice to all the parents who stop their kids from drinking, let them they will leave it or moderate it after 30. Well, I don't have kids so not really my concern if it harms your kid. Don't drink and drive you adults , young people might probably handle it. Hope is not lost, move on to cannabis ;)
P.S. Whether you drink or get high, always end it with awesome f :P
