Eat something for Pete's sake

There's something I saw way too much of over the holidays. People don't eat before they drink. It's usually  on purpose.

I heard 6'4" guy tell about his New Year's Eve plans. He was going to eat his last meal about three o'clock then just drink. The other night, another friend started on shots, and then she mentioned the she hadn't eaten all day. We were headed from a restaurant across the street to the neighborhood pub.

"How about a french fry or something?" I said. "It itn't good to not eat. It can mess with your metabolism"

She seemed surprised. "I think I look pretty good for my age," she said.

"Of course. You look fabulous for any age. It's just healthier to eat." Actually, she's beautiful, but her body could look better. And she's earning the nickname Drunk Xxxx, (sorry, I don't use names). A few meals might help her not fall into people's laps and kiss girls on the lips after she's had too much.

One drink on an empty stomach and I feel nauseous. I have to eat to make it through the day. Besides, I like food.

Then there's my friend who was nursing his breakup and had the meltdown the other night. He just doesn't eat. He's a little guy and food just never seems to be a part of his day.

Bon appetite, cheers and love to the single girls,
