I drank way too much - hardcore partier for many years, the type that would be asked to leave or escorted to the door because everyone was going to sleep. I used to take pride in it and I look back now with regret. It was wasted time.

I have probably been bipolar for many years and when I was "up", I'd drink more. I don't think I really drank when I was depressed......I WOKE UP depressed!

Now I don't drink at all. I do and I don't miss it. Meh, so be it.
