I feel bad sometimes about the fact that I used to be the big liquor sponge on campus, because I started a bunch of my friends off on it - and now I don't drink anymore. For some of them, I even bought/poured their first drink.
The first time I drank, I killed most of a bottle of Jack Daniels by myself and then, among other highlights, proceeded to scale three floors of a hotel via balcony railings. Some people still have that as their foremost image of me. It can make it difficult to associate with my friends from highschool, because they pretty much expect me to be that wild drunk guy.
As stupid as it sounds, the only thing that gets me "high" now is the endorphin kick from performing. Usually, by the time my band rehearses, loads up, loads in, and goes on stage I am in a state just short of absolute agony. The catch is that once I start, I don't feel anything but "the glow," as I call it. Of course, once the music stops, The Glow burns out pretty quick - chief reason why I can usually be found slumped over against my car in the parking lot after most shows.
