Drinking is of various types, but I know about soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. From on set, I don't take alcoholic drinks, I only take soft drinks and it's once in awhile because I don't like consuming sugar that much. Infact if everybody could be like me in terms of soft drink consumption, maybe the companies producing them would have close down, because they won't make sales.
Nevertheless there was a time I tasted alcoholic drink, hen I was serving as a corp member, it was our fellow corper's birthday, so my guys bought some wine and then mix it with yoghurt, as someone who hasn't tasted alcoholic drink before, I was feeling the taste of the yoghurt more than the wine, so I keep taking it, not knowing I was harming myself. Till it got to a point that I started misbehaving, I was saying all kinds of things, there was a time that I was so weak that I had to go sleep in the bathroom perhaps I'll get relieved.
I was affected by the drink all day, I couldn't do anything all through, but thank goodness it was in the evening so I just find a good spot and sleep off. I regained my consciousness the next morning, ever since then, I haven't tasted any alcoholic drink again. I do praise those that usually drink without getting drunk or high.
I rarely do parties, but one of this days I'm planning to do a small get together party, strictly by invitation hahaha.
Also I only hear, or see people going for festival, I've not been privileged to attend one before now, but the little one that looks like it was the carnival we did in camp during NYSC. Everyone were dressed according to their culture and tribe, I can't forget that day because I actually rent some clothes so as to participate in the carnival, I acted like a Igbo man, If anyone should see me that day, you would think I'm from the East, whereas I'm not.
