i heart beer

Seriously, what are the signs of an alcoholic?

My Secret Santa at work gave me three bottles of delicious ('cause I've had it before) cherry Belgian beer, and later informed me that he meant to get me the raspberry one because it is gorgeous, but the store of liquor was all out. And I immediately thought about searching where I could get it online (because that's a feature on the BC Liquor Store website).

After work I went to Six Acres for beer to celebrate being done school and to celebrate my friend's second-last day at work. I started with a Leffe (a yummy Belgian blonde I had for my birthday) and progressed to a Demon (Czech and so easy to drink). Feeling tipsy, I caught the bus to the store of liquor to buy some beer for a party I'm about to go to. I bought an enormous bottle of La Fin du Monde (a Quebec beer in an enormous corked bottle) and another Demon (economical at $2.24 a 500ml bottle). I think I'll leave the Demon at home, along with the crisper full of local microbrew that I like to keep on hand, just in case. (The regular supply of Strongbow was consumed on Wednesday when my friend came over to watch a video. I didn't feel like replacing it this evening.)

Tomorrow I'll be drinking because it's my friend's last day of work. And I had made tenative plans with various people to drink next week. Seriously, I shouldn't be as much of a lightweight as I seem to be. Like, after 1.5L of beer I shouldn't be feeling this tipsy. I've been practicing and everything.
