A day with terrible conditions can suddenly become an amazing day with the proper additives.
Sometimes an even better day can be enhanced with a light blaze or buzz.
Its all great fun, and everyones having a great time!
What could go wrong!
And heres the part where youre starting to realize that the author is extolling the virtues of something fun.
Hes definitely about to turn it around into a drugs and alcohol are bad man piece of writing.
Okay, maybe a little, but not really.
Until this past year, Id usually drink about 4-8 beers over the course of a ski day.
Some days I would ski sober, but those were far a few between.
Then the next weekend would roll around and I had to get my fix in.
Gotta make the most of them!
Ski, drink, party.
Okay, now back to real life!
For what my baseline was, this was about 20 lbs in extra beer weight I was lugging around.
It was definitely affecting my skiing, and my health, mental and physical.
I was having knee pain, and back pain.
Im proud of that.
I feel better, and look better.
Drinking less means you enjoy it as an additive more, and it doesnt become your natural state.
The same goes for any other drug in my opinion.
I was almost peeved at how it made me ski and feel, as opposed to embracing it.
I just want to say, feel free to take a break from it if you want to.
