Alcohol and the lifestyle: a cautionary tale

So my wife and I were in downtown Denver on Saturday for very vanilla reasons and happen to encounter a situation that was a teachable moment we wanted to share especially for newer couples.

Since it was the end of the KY Derby folks were flowing out of local bars very well ā€œlubricatedā€. One couple stood out as a fairly attractive blonde with very attractive tattoos walked angrily ahead of an equally attractive MF couple out of a popular bar. They turned out to be a unicorn and a married couple arguing over said unicorn making out with another couple during the Derby without consent of the couple that brought them to the event. Normally this could be discussed and normalized. But the threesome was waaay over the limit and ended up cussing each other out and storming off. So the takeaway for my wife and I going forward is: get lit or get laid. Never the two together. One or two drinks or puffs (it is Colorado after all) is fine but play with moderation in mind. Sort of sad to watch it happen so we thought weā€™d share. Good luck out there friends!!

Agreed. And in my experience it also stunts the ability to self regulate and have enough of a pause to find common ground and be compassionate to others experience of the moment. For me, those abilities are usually needed to have a conflicted conversation turn out positive, as opposed to derailing or spiraling out of control. Alcohol most likely didnā€™t cause the conflict. It probably revealed it. But it also rarely helps heal or solve conflicts in my life. Iā€™m much better at that when Iā€™m not inebriated.
