When you do stupid stuff under the influence of alcohol, don’t blame it on the alcohol—blame it on your own stupid self! Alcohol has to take the blame for far too many things that it is not causing. Alcohol does not make people do stupid things—people do stuff things because they want to do them. When you know that drinking too much alcohol is going to cause you to act foolishly, you are to be held fully responsible for your actions—not the Grey Goose! While I love Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It,” it’s just a fun song; it’s not a song with a profound message for you to apply to your life. In some ways, I think Jamie Foxx’s song is actually making fun of how people use alcohol as an excuse for all of the poor decisions they make.
When you are drunk and run into a car and kill people, alcohol is not going to save you from prison. Alcohol is not going to bring those people back to life. Alcohol is not going to comfort the victims’ families.
I am not trying to discourage you from drinking alcohol. There’s nothing wrong with you drinking alcohol at all. I just want you to drink alcohol responsibly. If you are going to get drunk, make sure that you don’t plan to get behind the wheel of a car. The only time when it’s a problem for you to get drunk is when you put yourself in a position to hurt someone else because you are intoxicated. Don’t let your love of alcohol be the ruin of yourself, and please don’t let it be ruin of others.
Some people think that it’s so cute to say that they got so “messed up” from drinking alcohol. They go to extremes to try to promulgate that they got “messed up.” It seems to me that they are not simply enjoying the alcohol, but are enjoying the attention that the alcohol can get them. Drink for yourself—don’t drink for others.
Make sure that you are able to handle your alcohol. I have seen people become so violent when they are drunk. To men, being drunk is not an excuse for you to raise your hands and hit a woman. If you raise your hands and hit a woman while you are drunk, I think that you deserve to go to jail. I know that the judge is just going to love to hear your excuse that the alcohol made you do it.
Let alcohol be a commodity that bring us together and not one that destroys us. Alcohol can always be a positive commodity, but it’s going to take responsible consumers to always make it a positive commodity. If you are not a responsible person, then stay away from alcohol. If you are friends with a person who is not a responsible drinker, then encourage him or her to be a more responsible drinker. Your friend may reject your advice but at least you will have played a part in trying to get him or her to change the way he or she drinks.
Blame your ignorance on yourself!

Having to be a lover of alcohol I agree, moderation. I hate when people abuse it. I think you took it to another level when starting to talk about killing people and things. It is a serious issue when you can’t control your level (time and time again). I know people tend to be more open and do more things they wouldn’t do. I know I talk a little more when I’m under the influence, no telling what I’m going to say but I always try to remind myself what I’m doing before I go too far. Been there – hate going back!
Drew: Do you think that alcohol helps you to do and say the things that you really want to do and say anyway?
Nope. The only thing alcohol makes me is want to “mess” around more. Increases my drive. I talk trash whenever, under or above the influence LOL
Lol! Just a mess.
I do love a glass of wine or three depending on the day. “Handle your alcohol” *church wave* Yes! There is nothing more unattractive than a man that can not handle his ‘liqueur’ and I am sure that you feel the same about a woman. A man placing his hands on a woman should not be done, whether drinking or not. The list can drag on about what individuals should not do under the influence of alcohol. Yes, alcohol does allow some to express themselves more fervently, but it also serves to relax the nerves of others after extremely long work days. Good post and of course…CHEERS!
@Pampered Sweet Tooth: Yes, alcohol can have very positive influences on people. Thanks for reading and your response!
I feel you on this post BUT alcohol will definitely make females look wayyyyyyy better than they actually are. So, i will say that my attractiveness vision came be blamed on the alcohol along with anything I do with set female because of the “alcohol”…lol! Good post!!
@Diggame: Lol! Thanks man!
