Drinking Theories

I have two theories on alcohol consumption that I wanted to blag about. I know neither will make it to a research paper, but then again, what else is my awesome blag for, aye?

Drinking on a Sunday Evening: Most people tend to drink on Friday or Saturday evenings, once the working week has come to an end. Thereafter, uncontrolled alcohol consumption eventually results in hang-overs on Saturday / Sunday mornings and screws up most of the weekend.

However, I propose that people who want to drink to their hearts’ content should do so on Sunday evening. This is because one can conserve precious time on weekends, and since Monday mornings are shitty anyway, the presence or absence of a hang-over at work doesn’t really make a difference.

Plus, most watering holes are less crowded with riff-raff on sunday evenings, but that is a moot point, given that you can drink anytime and anywhere in Bangalore city.

It was the cheap Monkee who spoke about this again last night, and made me think about blagging about it.

The Alcohol Buddy Theory: An alcohol buddy is someone you hang out with in order to have a drink. The surest sign that a friend is an alcohol buddy is if you are unable to hang out with this person unless alcohol is involved in the equation.

If you can’t figure out who your alcohol buddies are, hang out with them even when alcohol is not part of your meet-up and see if you end up having a good time regardless. If that is not the case, then you’ve got an alcohol buddy on your hands.

If you’re a social drinker, and you want to kick the bottle, all you would have to do would be to stop hanging out with your alcohol buddies, and all your problems would be solved. Voila!

    another similar funda is that the people you drink with have a huge bearing on whether you get drunk.

    a couple of weeks back i put an insane number of beers with a couple of absolute chappars. and was absolutely sober at the end of it. and a few months back, half a glass of beer in awesome company led to my beign gaen

    @skimpy,

    total agreement. When both put kudix at my place and called Kodhi and put oota at Nandhini, I was quite tholl anyway, though another time I put twice that in somewhat boring company and was not damaar at all.

    BTW, as you might’ve noticed, I have changed text in the reply mail.

    LOL, I am not sure of the first one but the second theory is bang on point. How is Deepak wines?

  4. Hari says:

    @thequark,
    Deepak Wines is missing you. But I think even my first theory is bang on. :)

  5. Devrat says:

    no idea about theory one…but theory two definitely works. :D

  6. Hari says:

    @Devrat,
    So does this mean you’ve reached a position where you could put atleast one of the theories to test?
