Dear everyone,

If you happen to see me drinking some water at a bar, please don't give me a hard time about it. It's a good thing to drink less alcohol, and you shouldn't bother me for doing a good thing just because I have lowered your expectations.

Thanks,
575

Water = good!

Did Alan do that? I will kick his ass.

YES. It was me. But I was not giving him a hard time. I thought he was getting another drink and I was just a little surprised to see him come back from the bar with a bottle of water, since I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN BEFORE!
I am very supportive of water! It's an amazing drink!

Ok. And it is indeed delicious. he drinks like 75 bottles a day at work. it makes my peanut bladder hurt just watching him!

This is what I'm talking about, and am asking people to please not do.

All I said was that I did not realize you were getting water. How did this turn into me giving you a hrad time?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

The disbelief with which you said it.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

I was also surprised that you got a professional haircut, but it was not an insult.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

It's a little different.

Anyway I just posted this because it's going to get annoying if every time I go out people are like, "Wow you're not being the normal alcoholic I expect you to be!" It'll get old really fast and I figured if I asked politely I could put a stop to it, ahead of time.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

OK. As long as you're not trying to be all passive aggressively snotty with me. That's all that matters.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I could see why you would worry because that's totally my style.

[gonzo-md.livejournal.com]

water is fine as long as it's spiked with vodka

[scearley.livejournal.com]

when I was a DJ the bouncers used to have pounders filled with ice and vodka, because it looked like water and they would be able to get COMPLETELY shitfaced on the job.

[gonzo-md.livejournal.com]

Drunk bouncers running around breaking up fights. YES.

Thats pretty lame of people to slam you for that. Even if you are drinking that night, having water in between drinks prevents hangovers.

If I may attempt to help translate: I'm guessing part of what he's saying is, don't be all "OMGURNOTDRINKINGWTF" and drawing all sorts of attention to that fact, and thus making him feel self-conscious. Even if you actually support the water drinking, it would be more helpful to just pretend you didn't notice.

Turner still gives me shit for drinking water if we're out drinking or having food. We've now made a running joke of it.

[meowlet.livejournal.com]

I for one will salute you!

[devildork.livejournal.com]

becuase he is about to rock ?

[frogger414.livejournal.com]

i'll give u high 5's and thank you for reminding me to get a glass of water for myself

[gavin.livejournal.com]

What is this "water" of which you speak? Wait...isn't that a mixer?
