Re: OT? Drinking sodas in bars

On Feb. 23rd I turned 48 (no gifts are necessary) and I went to a club
to watch a band. Ordered a margarita of which I drank half, then
ordered a Jack & Coke which I also did not finish. After a little while
I had a stomach ache which lasted into the next day. Now I'm no
lightweight but it is clear to me that I can't drink alcohol any more
since this has happened the last few times I had a drink (which wasn't
very often in the last few years). Not to encourage illicit behavior,
but these days a few bongs are much easier to handle than alcohol. Any
of you other real men out there having the same problem?

What has me concerned is that I like to watch live music, and would
like to participate in open mic jams, but will the bar owners ask me to
leave if all I order is a couple of sodas? I expect a lot of teasing,
but I'm serious.

I don't drink, haven't touched it for over 15 years. If someone has a
problem with that I figure that's their problem. Seriously, if someone
is concerned over that then I figure they have some issues and I'm not
going to lose any sleep over it. I just tell people "No thanks, I've
had enough" when they ask me if I want one. Hasn't been a problem for
me.
