A Lesson to Remember.
I"m fairly sure that everyone in this world at one time or another has learned a valuable lesson. I personally have learned one about alcohol that I will never forget. An incident happened about ten years ago, one that I"m not proud of, but at the time I wasn't concerned with what alcohol could do to a person. All I was concerned with was getting drunk and having a good time. Or so I thought that's what a good time was. .
The day in question was to be special day, my wedding day. The night before my friends had taken me out for a so-called bachelor party. This was supposed to be my last night as a single man, and I was prepared to enjoy myself as much as I could. I had indulged myself a little too much that evening with the alcohol. Of course, it wasn't until the next day that I knew I had over done it. Having a hangover on my wedding day was not what I had in mind. However, feeling as bad as I did, everything went without a hitch. It was a beautiful ceremony. All of my friends and family were there to share in my happiness. It was the best day of my life or so I thought. .
After the wedding everyone started heading to the Corriganville Fire Hall where the reception was being held. Everything was perfect until someone decided to bring me a drink. I really didn't feel like drinking, but I couldn't say no. I was actually looking forward to a stiff drink. Unfortunately, it wasn't the only one I had. It seemed like everyone and his or her brother wanted to give me a shot of whiskey. I actually thought I could handle all the whiskey I was drinking. Was I ever wrong about that? It seemed that, once I started drinking, I couldn't stop myself. By the time I knew something was wrong it was to late, I had blacked out. From that point on I can't remember what happened to me. My friends and family had told me the next day what happened, and it wasn't what I expected.
