I don’t drink anymore, I’m 5 years sober from alcohol. You can read a post I wrote about what some of my experience has been like here. Just because I don’t drink anymore doesn’t mean I don’t think about it. In fact some of y’all make those drinks look really good. And there are a few things I never got a chance to try.

TRIGGER WARNING: This post is talking about alcohol consumption. In a humorous way. I’m not about to run off to my nearest wine and spirits.
I’ve sat here and re-written this little paragraph about 4 times now. Chile, I’m just gonna start the post.
Buzzballs: They look really fun. Walking through Chinatown I heard someone say “Them buzzballs get you fucked up.” in passing. Oh how I will never know such sweet pleasure. Also the packaging is adorable. I picture the blue buzzball when I think about them. Probably because they remind me of the blue mad dog flavor.
Cut Water: What is thaaaattt? Cocktail in a can. Don’t know much about this one, but I’m seeing it all over TikTok. Folks are having a time with it. To be honest, they look like light work.
Lemon Drop: Honestly I never went for this one because I’m not a huge lemon flavor fan. But I’ve been around when friends ordered these and it seems like a cute lil drink for the girls.
Absinthe: Never had it when I was drinking, but was aware of its existence. Absinthe isn’t really a thing you’re drinking during undergrad in PA. Or maybe it is, couldn’t tell you, I went to a “dry campus”. Absinthe is a beautiful green drink like that looks like an elegant potion.
Zombie: Why did I never think to order this back in the day? It looks cool. Damn, this should have been my signature drink instead of a fucking *trashcan.
*Trashcan Beveragino: Red Bull and vodka. 🧍🏾♀️. What did it taste like? Getting fucked up.
ABSOLUT Cocktails: You gotta be shittin’ me. Where were these?! As you can see I was indeed a vodka girl.
Nothing else comes to mind. This is something that I’ve had collecting dust in my drafts. (Yikes.) I’m releasing all drafts whether done or not. This one is done.
I do miss alcohol at times. BUT! It’s in my best interest to leave it alone. For my mental health and physical health. I don’t want to try incorporating it back into my life. I don’t feel the need to “test the waters” and see if it’s something I can control now. I’m good where I’m at.
Thank you for reading, thank you for being here! I hope you know I mean that. I love it when you stop by. 💕
