I kind of cheated...

....which makes me a failure. BUT HEAR ME OUT! I had signed up for my first Susquehanna University alum event weeks before I had this grand idea to be sober for a month. It was held last night at the River Horse Brewery in Lambertville, NJ and I've always wanted to try their beers because their hippopotamus logo is so cute! (Such a great reason to try a beer... "Why, you had me at 'hippo'...").

Come on, how adorable!

And a hippo dressed up like a yeti... i love it!

 So I made myself a deal. I would still go and I would sip their samples and not drink the whole cups and it wouldn't be cheating. Yeahhhh, well then I really liked their double wit and I loveddddd their chocolate porter, which is part of their brewer's reserve series. Seriously, I was so screwed after the first sip of double wit, and I just threw in the cards after the chocolate porter hit my tongue. 

So I cheated. I got tipsy last night. 

Damn it. 

I'm debating whether to keep with this sober thing or not. The idea of missing St. Patrick's Day is slightly killing me. What if I don't drink until the end of March EXCEPT for St. Patty's Day... there's still a lot of days to not drink?

Weigh in my friends and go ahead, tell me I'm a failure. 

Oh and if you want an interesting side story, I was told by two creeping alumni from like 1986 that I won the hottest alumni contest... and then one of their wives walked up and they didn't notice and I had to turn away to keep from laughing in their faces. Silly men...
