Drinking is very enjoyable in moderation, at least to me. A lot of my teammates literally drink every night until they pass out on site. I'm amazed at how some of these guys are still alive to be honest. It's just EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, party after party. I join them every now and then, but I just don't enjoy it as much if I do it every freakin' night. I do admit the stories I hear at practice the next morning are priceless. "So and so was caught in his room, standing up and pissing in the corner on his clothes..again" or "So and so downed a bottle of SoCo, played some beer pong, started yelling at everyone, and punched a hole in the wall".

I think my most memorable time being wasted was New Years last year. Me and a few of my buddies had just gotten back from Umphrey's McGee/Keller Williams concert in Chicago, to an empty and CLEAN hotel suite in downtown Chi-town. We spent the rest of the night playing quarters and smoking and really ringing in the new year. My memory of that night stops at around 4 am, and we partied until we hit the road back home at 10 am. I had a blast, even though the whole ride home I was yacking up beer. Just beer. Haha, I guess it smelled REALLY bad in the car, but I didn't mind. It just felt good after I got done puking though.

All in all, suckers who drink on a consistant basis probably don't get as much fun out of it. It's great fun every once and a while. ~
