I don't get past that tipsy stage

I hate to lose control.

I seldom take alcohol. I can go for months without tasting it. But when I do, I always never get past that tipsy stage - I don't get past the state of tipsiness where control is not abandoned. Though this level of intoxication is hard to keep among my peers, I have somehow managed to master the art. I usually use bodily signs to determine when I have had enough to drink and should not drink more. This strategy has been effective for me and to date, I have never got drunk.

A friend invited me to his house which I accepted to visit as it's been a while we had time to see and talk to each other. So I accepted his invite. I got to his apartment at about 7:30 pm. I was warmly welcomed by him and his girlfriend. We called him a married bachelor because he is living with his girlfriend but not yet married. He brought out drinks from his fridge which we consumed as we chat and tried to catch up on lost times.

Within some minutes, one of his neighbors joined us. We watched updates of the US elections as we drank and discussed. From the result we saw from the news, Biden was leading in several states and according to the report. He concentrated his last-minute campaign at Pennsylvania. And according to the report, the result of the election may be determined by the votes from Pennsylvania. However, at the end of Tuesday, we will get to know the president of the United States of America. Perhaps Trump will keep the office or Biden will take over.

Later in our discussion, I realized that my friend's neighbour and I had a few things in common. One is that we attended the same university. With that, we had a lot of experience that share. Since my move to this state, this is the first time I met someone who shared similar experiences with me. Though the man didn't care about his level of alcohol toxicity, as he consumed most of the drink and ensured the whisky bottle was empty. He claimed not to have anywhere to be the next.

Immediately I got to the tipsy level, I stopped taking the drink. I ate the food that I was served, bid my friend goodbye and now I am at home sharing this with you. Immediately after I publish this article, I will go to sleep hoping to wake up early enough not to get to work late tomorrow.

I will publish this with the hope that it makes little sense, as though I am in control of almost all my actions, but I am not in full control.

I have two active initiatives that you could take part in if you already don't. The first is The Patronage and the latest one which was announced on the first day of this month - the comment league. Check my account for details on these two projects.

It's already 10:14 pm here. Good night from me with love.
