Hello guys, this is a little bit embarrassing. But I had this story in my mind, so I am going to write it out. Another tale that differs from the “Batida de Coco” lifestyle.

I would say I have a very good and harmonic relationship. But there was always one situation where the harmony between us was over. We were wrangling about beer bottles. Damn, this feels so stupid. Almost to stupid to be real, but that is how it was.

I always bought the same amount of alcohol for me and my girlfriend. There was a problem though. I was drinking three times faster than she was. I was holding the beer bottle in my hand permanently, as if somebody could take it away from me. I clutched the bottle and drank, drank, drank. When half of the can was gone, I was already thinking about the next one. Additionally, I was worried about the total amount of beer left for me.

Unavoidably we always ended up in the same scenario. I had binged away my fair share of alcohol and she had the most of hers left over. My greedy receptors were on already. What could I do? There was alcohol in the room, and I wanted to drink badly. That was how my logic functioned.

So I asked “Can I have half of your beer?” She was always a little annoyed but mostly gave me half of her beer. That was gone in minutes too, and the cycle continued. That did not make an atmosphere like they promised in the “Bacardi Breezer” advertisement. When I look a this now, this is almost unbelievable. I was begging for beer because I could not handle my desire for more. Let me enjoy this feeling for a moment.

Another story that I remember is: She was gone, and left two bottles of sparkling wine in the refrigerator. It was a birthday present for her and not for my consumption. I thought it was a good idea to take some relaxing sips in the evening. I ended up killing both bottles in less than 2 hours. Next morning, I woke up with a nice headache and a strong sense of guilt. The first thing I did was going to a supermarket to replace the bottles so she does not notice. “Batida De Coco” lifestyle!

As funny as it may sound, that was not funny at all. I am happy I don’t have to replace Sparkling Wine bottles again.
