Damn . That was slick . <| sep |> For the past few years , I ' ve mostly drank home , alone . TBH , it ' s because I ' ve made an ass of myself at every bar in town , and most of the people I used to hang out with refuse to go outdrink with me anymore . To the point of a friend invited me to her daughter ' s grad party , but told me I couldn ' t drink if I went . I didn ' t go . But with my mom , she knows how bad I ' d gotten , and honestly I just wanted to avoid a big discussion about it , especially today . I don ' t drink anymore seemed a less dramatic , more direct , final statement . Maybe one day soon we ' ll sit and talk and I ' ll cry and all that , but for today , I just wanted to assure her , without dissecting it . <| sep |> not always . Besides , to me , canadian dollars are cheaper than us dollars , so buying from the CAD store ends up being much cheaper
