Just to be cute (and for kicks. And while dicking around Wikipedia), I answered the CAGE questionnaire. Simply put, the CAGE questionnaire is a method to screen for alcoholism, and I have nothing funny to add to that. Because my “alcoholism” and the nature of my drinking (I drink like I have a goal and that goal is the total obliteration of this body organ we call the liver), I realize, is not something to laugh about.
The questions:
1. Have you ever felt you needed to Cut down on your drinking?
Yes.
2. Have people Annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
Yes.
3. Have you ever felt Guilty about drinking?
Yes.
4. Have you ever felt you needed a drink first thing in the morning (Eye-opener) to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?
Chyea-ah.
Phew. That was easy.
Two “yes” responses indicate that the respondent should be investigated further [...] A score of 2/4 or more is considered “alcoholism.”
NO WEI!!!
So anyways, this weekend— like any other weekend— was spent ingesting absurd amounts of alcohol. From chugging down can after can of beer at Top Gear‘s 3rd year anniversary party/car show at Tiendesitas to chugging down bottle after bottle of beer at JayJ’s last Saturday night (surprisingly enough, I wasn’t that blitzed: I came home before my housemates did, my heels were intact, and there were no beer or food stains on my white dress), to the standard Sunday Night Rum-cola Supreme with the Barbies. Again, I found myself not plastered plastered after about eight of us consumed several bottles of Tanduay. Either we didn’t drink enough or my alcohol tolerance is improving. I’m leaning towards the former.
I know it’s cropped and stuff and my neck and chin look weird (I was awesomely drunk and my face in the uncropped photo is a total oddity), but I super love this shot from two Saturdays ago. I must admit, though, that I don’t remember posing for a photo and that I can’t remember if we were at Pier 1 or JayJ’s when Drew took this:
MMMM.
I seriously need to take it easy on the alcohol and spend more time in bed. This company also needs better office furniture.
Hi, I'm Helga Weber and welcome to my personal site. I'm 25 and in the process of learning how to make adventurous life choices. I dislike old people but I love grandma clothes. My goal in life is to build a ball pit right next to my bed. Currently searching for the perfect house coat. My lover is the greatest. 
Helgrr, what kind of cam does Drew use? I want color saturated shots liek those! Also, I know why there’s the pressing need for cropping. Whoa!

That indeed is a lovely shot. How can you afford to drink so much each weekend? Going out here cots so much (well, in Munich doh :( ) and we can’t really afford it. Sucks, because I love going to a bar and have some cocktails.

Easy. We have cheap alcohol :)

If this just applies on weekends then I don’t think you generally have a problem…
right?

That’s a pretty cool pic, Helga. I’m experimenting myself with my phonecam. (A grayscale shot taken with it is now my header, but I’ll change it soon.)
Little less booze, little less snooze. Figure it out. ;)
God superbless!
