Pringles drinker – Once I pop, I can’t stop (Tweet This).
(For those not familiar – “once you pop, you can’t stop is a slogan for Pringles crisps. Basically saying once you open the tube – “pop” – the crisps are so good you won’t stop until the tube is empty)
That’s the same with me when I drink.
There is no “just one drink” or “a couple after work” for me.
Once I have one drink I am going to have 10 drinks. There is no middle ground.
When I was drinking I couldn’t understand why people would go out to the pub for a couple.
If you are not going out to get drunk why would you even go out drinking
me – numerous occasions
These people would sit round with their friends for a few hours only having a few drinks in this time. That was crazy to me. In the same time they had 3 or 4 drinks I will have had 10. When they were heading home to their loved ones I was propping up the bar until last orders. While they were fresh headed in the morning I couldn’t operate at full capacity until I had a few cans of hair of the dog.
Such is the life of a ‘Pringles’ drinker.
So now when someone asks me:
“Can’t you just have one”
My answer is simple…..No.
No I can’t just have one. That is why I have chosen to have none.
IWNDWYT – I will not drink with you today
