Drinking Challenge

This challenge is very hard for me
Cos I don’t drink at all.
I don’t need to ask "what is Whisky",
It’s what makes people walk in to walls.

Just kidding, that only happens if you have too much
But what would I know about such?
Plenty people get drunk
And then they’re sunk.
Others don’t lose it like that,
They got sick of puking on the new car mat.
One tequila...two tequila..three tequila...floor,
And after that they still want more.
I’ve heard the stories of the drunks,
Making cars smell like dirty skunks.
They kill people on the roads frequently
By driving and then thinking subsequently.

I know it’s supposed to make you cool...
So say many of the kids at school.
I know it’s supposed to take away stress,
But heck it also makes the world a mess!

I also know drinking can be okay,
If you stick to one a day.
Okay if you want, two is fine...
But please stop while you can still walk a straight line!

This is awesome, I love it, I was laughing from the first stanza.   The sober can see reality so much better.
