Mid Week Drinking

Mid week drinking is much better than weekend drinking. I find alcohol goes to your head much quicker when it knows it can make you feel like a grisly bear on sedative the next morning. It is perhaps for this reason that mid week drinking is also much cheaper.

I don’t feel so bad about ‘enjoying’ a drink, or several, when put in the context that I’m gay.

The rates of both alcohol consumption and alcohol problems are higher among lesbians and gay men than in the general population. Even worse, LGBT youths appear to use alcohol and other drugs more than other young people. While there are genetic factors involved, some argue that environmental factors are the ones that primarily influence members of the GLBT community to drink heavily. Environmental issues can range from dealing with "coming out" to being bombarded with suggestive advertising.

Indeed, there are few real outlets for LGBT people to socialise that are entirely away from the influences of alcohol. Gay bars in many cases do well not because they are nice bars to go to, but because they are simply gay.

Many of my friends refer to Alco-pops as ‘poof juice’. While to drink a pint of beer is a dykish thing for a female to do (unless of course, you work in the knicker factory in Coronation Street).

So yes. Another drink I say.
