Put on Your Party Face.

   It's friday and we are in the middle of party season. Graduations, weddings, retirements, holiday cookouts, this time of year is loaded with social intercourse. Perhaps as young people, these events are ocasions for mass consumption of mind altering substances. Just because hard liquor is offered free, shouldn't necessarily mean you should drink more than a dozen cocktails. Limit yourself to twelve and most serious problems will be avoided. The problem is keeping track. If you are also hitting the stun weeed , make that number, ten.
     Even if your two fisted drinking days are behind you, getting your mind right is still important for social events. If you start out saying, "I'd rather take a hard beating, than go to this stupid wedding", all is lost. Parties are fun. Repeat after me . Parties are fun. Put a smile on you face. Have a plate of deviled eggs in your hands and wade ride in. Talk to people you don't know. If the convesation lags, tell them the hyena story.
