お酒を飲みません。 I do not drink Alcohol.
Ugh. Party. Bad idea. I did not enjoy myself. At all.
I may as well have spent that 500 yen on lunch.
At least there was food there...
And people. Lots of people. And music. Very LOUD music. And drinks. Lots of drinks.
There were all these Japanese people coming up and talking to me, asking what did I study and where did I come from. I didn't mind it too much, it was nice talking with new people, but I kept saying the same things over and over. My name is Sean. I am from America. I studied Japanese for 2 years at a college in New York. Japanese is my major. Douzo Yoroshiku.
Blech. See? Gets mundane.
People also kept inviting me to drink with them. I just politely refused the drink but still talked with them.
Eventually it became too much for me. I snuck out a little before it ended. Too much noise. Too lively. Too much music. Parties just aren't my thing.
You may be asking right now: Jeez Sean. You're a loser, you don't seem very sociable, don't know how to enjoy yourself, and what do you have against drinking???
Yes. Its true. I dislike large social events. (IE parties) My head aches. I feel uncomfortable. I feel like I don't belong there. At least sitting in a corner alone grabs some attention and people step out to talk to me and ask how I'm doing.
As for drinking? Forget it. I have SEEN drunks. It's... its scary. To not be yourself and run the risk of doing something stupid and unforgiveable... drunk driving as an extreme example, and well... random stupid stuff I don't want to think of... I don't ever want to experience it. So why not have just one drink? It doesn't work that way. You have one drink. Your brain loosens up. You decide to have one more. You slowly lose yourself and continue drinking till you aren't thinking right anymore. How do I know this could happen to me? I have a very low will. As in, I can't resist the temptation of say... only eating one potato chip. It's impossible. You can't eat only one chip. My mind is like that.
Even one drink would destroy me, since it would become more. Don't try to convince me. It's futile. The second I'm convinced is the second I lose my mind. I'm never going to drink. Never. Ever.
C'mon... just one. You know you wanna...
Oh sure... except NO.
C'mon, you're Irish! It's in your blood!
That is a stupid discrimination. EVERYONE drinks! EVERYONE!! Just not me.
You suck.
If you wanna criticize me, get in line, buddy.
