I’m back in normal life again. No booze. Yesterday we were drinking. I was intending not to get drunk, no matter what it casts me. The evening was starting great, we bought 3x12packs and headed to city. When we got there we went to kiasma’s park. The best and the only place where we drink in Helsinki. Everything was great, 12pack down, next open. I’m feeling that I should slow down on drinking so I wont get drunk too fast. We chit-chat and one geezer that loves football shines his bright idea, to and watch SUOMI-SERBIA game. But there’s a problem, we have so much beer, the match is starting in 15min and we have to drink it before going there. So they say “hurry up”. I say that I don’t want to hurry up, because if I do, I’ll get drunk, well I mean I’ll probably loose a littlebit of self control and start speaking in loud. AND AS ALWAYS like every drunk Russian they start saying: ahh come on, help us, don’t you respect us? I mean what the F it has to do with respect? Oh hell yeah I respect: MYSELF. I have dignity, I told my self I wont drink, so I wont. This kept going on till the end of a football game. It was hard not to drink, but I stood up for myself and yeah! I’m proud. But this wont be the last time, so I’m just wondering, what’s up with it? Why do we drink because everybody does? I mean it wont make you a better person, believe me, friends, don’t care are you a drinker or not and you don’t have to show off in front of them, you don’t have to proof anything. Still why is it so hard to not drink when they all are drinking? - so next time when ya’ll drink, just think: why do you drink? For who? For what? And the most important: know your limits!
