Sobriety: Weekend #1

A few things I noticed while out and not drinking:
- I pounded 4 club soda & limes. Not as fun or as easy as 4 beers.
- My back and knees hurt like crazy around midnight from all the standing. Apparently alcohol is a pain reliever as well.
- I have far less to talk about sober.
- I need to thesaurus "sober" and come up with some new words for it.

And finally, people have three general responses to finding out you're not drinking:
1) Good for you, pal.
2) Gee, I should give that a try.
3) That's dumb; you're an idiot, no fun, and your lifestyle choice is wrong.

I heard much more of 3 than 1 or 2. This is going to be rough.
