From an old notebook,
Even though I failed to get drunk the first time (though my pack of friends then might disagree), I did succeed in that almost exactly a month after that. In December. That story is for another day.
In retrospect: Smoking looks cool, but gives you bad breath and black lungs. Booze smells bad, tastes worse and makes you appear even stupider than you are if you do it right. Short story even shorter: not worth doing.
