i suck

i'm a big fat hypocrite. not too awfully long ago i chastised a friend about their drinking, saying how awful it was and that it was too easy to get carried away. i just got through adding up my debit receipts for the last week and i spent $123.50 at the pub in the last 6 days. mind you that tuesday through friday they have 5-7 happy hour where you get all you can drink for $7. look who's gotten carried away. part of it is the social aspect. with the exception of the girl, i still really don't know anyone here, and i can go to the pub and see friendly faces and have some nice conversation. but it seems that i am drinking more and more while i'm there. whereas i used to nurse a drink for a while, i find myself downing them quickly and taking shots (although in my defense the bartender often makes up batches of shots for the regulars and you can't turn down a free drink). add to this the fact that i'm not even supposed to be drinking with the medications i'm on and i still haven't found a job (although i have picked up some temp work). i guess this one can be chalked up to glass houses and bricks. sorry.
