EPISODE 18: Seriously Sober.

First off, we all are aware of the fact that I love drinking. Not in that funnel guzzling, beer pong playing, blonde waitress humping kind of way – I am a respectable man who likes booze because it makes me feel like an adult. An adult who needs to drink enough to encourage pissing off a bridge onto a friend who is pissing onto a car under said bridge. Recently however, something started to go off track. I will not bore you with details, but after partaking in a 3-day hangover, I thought it was time for a break.
