SUMMARY:Dating and Drinking: Alcohol, You’ve Got a Friend in Me?
NAME:Dating and Drinking: Alcohol, You’ve Got a Friend in Me?

 )\n\nIt 
 starts in 6th grade health class.  The warnings.  The hazards.  The 
 perils.  The risks associated with our dear friend. Alcohol.  Teachers, 
 parents, and even the labels themselves advise us about the detrimental 
 effects of alcohol on our bodies and minds.\n\nThat shot of tequila, they 
 caution, will not only burn your esophagus (as it travels out of your 1 
 Tequila, 2 Tequila, 3 Tequila, FLOOR! shot glass and down your throat), 
 but also cause your nervous system to respond with slurred speech, 
 difficulty walking, and the inability to operate heavy machinery.  Our 
 livers, in turn, can suffer permanent damage from too many trips to 
 Margaritaville.  The beer drenched blood that courses through our bodies 
 make us believe that calling a guy 300 miles away at 3 a.m. is clearly in 
 your best interest, and that following that call with a few misspelled 
 text messages 
 (https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Spain-dating-service.html?pa
 ge=19) 
 and a pining email is perfectly normal.  Like the song says, “Blame it 
 on the al-al-al-al-al-alcohol.”\n\nAlcohol is the enemy.  Or so they 
 make you think.  What about when just a little sip of the sizzurp gives 
 you the strength to make that first phone call to your crush?  Or, when 
 the best way to cope with the awkward experience of running into your ex 
 at a party is to pour shots of one of your dear friends Jose, Jim, or 
 Jack?  Why doesn’t anyone ever talk about Alcohol the Ally?\n\nI was 
 grateful for my buddy, Bud Light, when one summer night, unbeknownst to my
 friend, her summer fling was asking me about “us” and if I would be 
 “interested.”   I gulped down a few swigs to avoid answering the 
 question and to try to achieve enough of a buzz to pretend I didn’t 
 remember the conversation.\n\nI’m not the only one who needs the sauce 
 to communicate (nonverbal included). When Jordyn, 30, wants to have a chat
 of mild importance with her husband of 6 years, she still calls on 
 Cabernet, just like she did when they were dating in college.  Just one 
 glass emboldens her to discuss everything from the 
 “we-need-to-spend-more-quality-time-together” conversation to the 
 “should-we-move-in-together?” conversations they had pre-marriage.  On
 the opposite and less serious end of the spectrum, Lia, 31, chooses a 
 Corona, or two, to provide the courage she needs to channel her inner 
 flirt.  A little rusty after breaking up with her boyfriend 
 (https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/United-States-dating-service
 .html?gender=male&page=5) 
 of 6 years, she is ready to get back on the horse – literally and 
 figuratively!\n\nBut Alcohol the Friendly Spirit doesn’t just work her 
 magic in the context of romantic relationships.  My friends know that I 
 can be an open book as easily as I can keep my feelings to myself and not 
 always be forthcoming with information about my life.  The smart ones have
 figured out that when they invite me, and my friend Pinot Noir 
 (https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/wine-lovers), I’m much 
 more likely to loosen my lips and share what’s in my heart, from the 
 juicy to the jaded.\n\nFor others, cozening up with a cocktail isn’t 
 about sharing or feeling, but about releasing!  A number of the moms I 
 know, like Serena, 28, swear by “mommy juice” (aka apple martinis).  
 Martini Monday, their mini vacay from motherhood, is just one way for 
 these hard-working mamas to stay sane!\n\nSo, yes, alcohol can bring us 
 joy while causing us such pain!  One drink too many can turn our best 
 friend into our worst enemy.  Such a fine line we tread between the 
 excitement of dancing atop the bar and the agony of hugging the toilet.  
 If only the labels and the warnings reflected the alcohol experience more 
 accurately.  Perhaps, warning: consumption may lead to the over confidence
 needed to perform Shoop at karaoke, but also may lead to crying into your 
 beer on the bathroom floor. \nSource:
