Mind Over Thirst
Pro
I used to get drunk to make it seem like the surroundings I was in were fun. I was basically forging "happy experiences." To make matters worse I would drink until I got into a walking blackout state where I would forget most of the night and my fun time. I still drink but not to the level where I'm making myself seem like I'm having a good time. Now If I feel like if I can't have fun without getting drunk, I remove myself from the situation. Now I focus on having genuine good times.
