Drinking sessions suck Tool Time

Drinking session = from the time i take my first drink to the time i fall asleep.

I always assumed that my drinking sessions where nothing but fun. But i wanted to challenge myself on that assumption so i made a list of cons specific to the drinking session itself (this is actually just a part of my CBA). I am kind of shocked to know that even the act of drinking has so many cons while drinking.

A few random items are: always getting hungry and eating junk foods, always go to sleep super late, often bother friends with texting. The list goes on.. I have 13 items in total.

Conclusion: even the drinking session itself has many down sides that i somehow did not notice before.

It's certainly interesting when you actually write out the pros and cons of addictions, you will notice there are far more cons than pros. And you will also ask yourself, are these pros even really worth it? Most the time you will answer no.

Keep that list, refer back to it when you want to break..read it back, remind yourself why you're doing this.

Oh gosh, yes. The sugar urges and poor sleep are big costs!
