Abstain or Overload

Get your mind out of the gutter, well a little ways out of the gutter. I've got an almost serious question.
This coming weekend is my college homecoming; there is always a considerable amount of alcohol consumed at this event. The following weekend is VEGAS!!! I think that I might have one or two drinks there.
So my question is this:
Should I abstain from alcohol prior to those events and detox between them? Or, should I start dranking now to prepare my body for what is to come?

I'm not a super-all-the-time drinker so I can't answer that way, but I would never pick abstain for anything!!
Think of it as Vegas training!!!

What is "dranking"?
Sounds like a past tense.
Is that the Southern pronunciation???

If you stop you'll get your butt kicked when you go into excess. keep up and get the system use to it and you'll probably tolerate more. (could wind up in rehab too, but everything has its risks)

You've obviously never met CRC. She taught me how to drank in Dallas and Alpine.

If I didn't go to Buffett concerts I would hardly ever drink.

So that's why you are at every show?

If you don't start drinking,
I'm gonna leave
Not really but it seemed appropriate. In your honor I will listen to at least 3 George Thorogood songs on the way home today.

If I didn't drink so much I could afford to go to more Buffett concerts

I wore my stunt liver out in August and September. I'm on the donor list for another one.

Pure oxygen is a deadly poison (in sufficient quantities) and generally leads to a shorter lifespan as you "burn" more of yourself up every day.
But you still catch youself taking little sips through your nose every now and then.
If you never quit drinking you never get a hangover.
Do your brain -- and liver -- a favor; drink a little (more) every day.

Me either; I rarely drink the rest of the year.

Then I guess the question really should be; how much do I need to drink to prepare for a weekend with the OKC girls?

The results show that someone voted for abstain. I demand a full recount.
