Loss of a category
Posted: June 8, 2009 Filed under: I love to drink, Ramblings on life, Randomization of randomness 5 Comments »There was a time when I absolutely loved drinking, no matter if it was a social drink or simply drinking to get drunk (big time). I never used to shy away from any possible opportunity to drink, and on few occasions established some notorious reputations too 
But times changed now, without even knowing about it, I ain’t the same drinker that I used to be. I had to sit around with some of my old pals to finally realize that. Now I am more of a social drinker, who if tries to push beyond that suffers a great deal the next day 
I know it’s all good considering possible health as well as monetary benefits from my less enthusiastic drinking. However, my blog is in loss because of that. I have a blog category called “I love to drink” where I post all the creative ideas that I acquire during my drinking sagas. I doubt if I will have any more updates to that category. But I am optimistic that any substitutes (if any) to my drinking habits can also produce equally interesting and inspiring accounts for me to share 
Ha ha ha! It’s age Prajwoljee! I too feel the same. But it’s good anyway.
But I think even a little ‘fuel’ of alcohol can lit the ‘creative fire’. So I hope this category will live on:)
Ha. ha. ha..
I think Basant Ji has already given you very practical cure for your problem ( Experiences does matter !
)
Being a non experienced person about that matter, I can only advise you to change the category gradually to “ I still love to drink ”, first. Then, as time passes you can change it to “I used to drink”, “I don’t remember…if I used to drink” and finally “I hate to drink”.
But to keep yourself creative and energetic do follow Basanta Ji’s advice.
I’ve noticed something similar with me too. ~10 years ago, I could stay up all night, drinking partying etc. Now – not so much. 6th beer and I’m done for the next 24 hours
)
Still, there’s an up side to getting older (because that’s the reason I believe) – you get to appreciate things more. If you drank every day, how fun was it ? Now if you go out and drink every other week, it’s enough. But the memories are much more clear (assuming you don’t “overdo it”
Basanta ji,
I am glad I’m not the only one, and the idea of less fuel requirement for creative fire sounds great…but I wish I could keep that age thing under control
Dilip Ji,
Experience does matter..lol
“I don’t remember if I used to drink” is hilarious 
I think you came up with great solution, slow progression of that category
Pozycjonowanie,
You said it best, I am in the same boat ….from fame notoriety to a sane drinker…but memories are certainly more clearer
Alcohol is fun but I just don\’t feel like drinking all the time any more. Once a week is well enough for me.
