First, train tickets cost about $5 a day, and I need to take the train to school. I've recently decided that school is not cool, and I haven't been to campus in awhile. Second, Goon (Boxed wine) is about $17, so I only drink this. It does not taste good. This also means that buying drinks in bars is a luxury of the past. Last night is a perfect example of how I deal with this:
Tammy, Chris M, Jamie, Phil, Cam and I start out the night at home, drinking goon and a playing few drinking games. As we're about to head out the door, I grab a RedBull, chug and we walk to a bar on the dock named Isobar. Chris M buys me a beer, claiming that I've bought him one in the past. I do not remember said beer, but I'm not about to turn it down. We sit at a table on the crowded dock, and drink and talk for a while. The table next to us got up and left. They also left a pink martini that was half full on the table. We decide to get up and go inside, but I had a different plan. I'm broke. I'm an alcoholic. I grab Tammy and we sit at the table both blocking the view of the drink from the bouncers who are looking at us like we're retards. We pretend to be a couple, and Tammy grabs the drink.
Then we walk inside and I'm handed a successful free half-cosmo. We sit at this table for about 20 minutes and move on to the next bar. This bar is called the Dockyard and I love it because they wil let you sample any beer you'd like before you buy a glass. I had to pee, so when I was in the bathroom, all my friends already got their drinks, so I had to go up to the bar myself. I went up to the bar, tried every beer, and left them hanging. Yes, that's cheating, but... I'm broke. I have made it through about one straight week of drinking without spending a cent at the bars. Let's hope my luck keeps running hot like this. I may have a small amount for Ames bars with my return.
