The Army has taught me how to deal with drunks.

As to my drinking -- I doubt I'll hardly drink when I get out of the Army (I rarely get drunk when I go on leave). I've done it so much now that I could care less for it. When I first got to Germany 3 1/2 (I was 20 then) years ago I used to mainly do shots -- now (23 now), I can't stand the things.

Half the time anymore I'm dragged out to the bars to drink with friends. Which annoys me -- because I prefer to drink at bars by myself or with people that can handle themselves. Alcohol doesn't affect me nearly as bad as it affects a lot of other people. I can drink from 6pm to 6am and still walk straight (ok, thats if I'm drinking Jager+red bull, and thats roughly the only thing I drink). My role then ends up taking care of the people who can't handle their alcohol.

Meh -- I wish there was more to do during your average weekend in Germany than go out and drink. Its seriously turned into a damn chore. Yet, I refuse to just sit on my couch in the barracks wanting to beat my head into a wall because of one of my roommates.

This post is somewhat random...

I have a good friend who has been in Germany for close to 5 years now. But, he does have his two kiddos by himself...still he seems to find plenty to do.

I can't stand any Captain Morgan. Actually, I dislike rum. I hate whiskey. And I abhor Tequila and Vodka. And apart from a few select beers -- mainly Irish and German -- I don't like beer.

Ok -- single life w/o children. Apart from traveling -- there isn't much to do on the weekends. But -- true, you can always find things to take up the time. My main one being World of Warcraft.

that's just silly, everybody knows that rum is as high above jager as brownies are above cupcakes!

I guess that is true. He tends to hang out with his buddies and jam out on the gittin-tar.
