Bar Crawl!

This summer is presenting me with some unique challenges, but nothing I can't handle. For example, I have 3 weddings in June, and Pride, and a barcrawl. That's a major drinking event on every one of June's 5 weekends. Yowza.

Dave 2.0 wasn't good at handling peer pressure; hell, even "peer hinting" could persuade me to have "just one more drink." But I'm moving towards Dave 3.0, who moderates himself and thinks about the long term. Especially when it's 5 back-to-back weekends.

So, Step 1: I have to be saintly during the weekdays. No wiggle room there. The weekends have to be my exceptions, not my status quo.

Step 2: Go into each event with a plan. Today is the Fenway Pubcrawl; we do 9 bars that represent 9 innings, all around Fenway. It's a blast! I've decided that I'm bringing just $100 in cash with me, only drinking light beers, not ever having more than 2 drinks/bar, and keeping a bag of almonds in my pocket to avoid to drunken orgy of eating that is associated with day-long drinking.

Wish me luck!
