A Lesson Learned the Hard Way: One Beer Too Many

Remove bowling ball from start line

What’s a time you ignored your gut — and paid for it?

This is an easy question for me to answer.

Back when I used to go bowling with the girls, I would sometimes head out on an empty stomach and have a beer while bowling. One beer often turned into two, and before long my stomach would start feeling a little queasy.

After bowling, we’d usually go to a pizza parlor for lunch. Of course, I’d have another beer or two there. By then I was feeling pretty tipsy.

The real trouble started when I stepped outside into the bright sunlight. Suddenly, there it was: a massive headache, wobbling when I walked, and sometimes even seeing double.

Boy, did I learn my lesson! That’s when I found out I can’t handle more than one drink. And I sure paid for it later.
