Believe me, I don't even like drinking all that much because I don't like getting drunk and the hangover next day but to socialise with people in Australia, you don't have much choice in the matter. I tried to convince my friends let's not hang in the tavern, let's just be indoors but you know as a person in the lower totem pole, my opinions aren't even taken that seriously. People will always go with what the social butterfly suggests not some loser in the back. After realising that, I bailed and burned bridge with them. I tried to hang out with them as long as I could because they were high school friends but I couldn't. And what do you know? After being alone by myself a while, my mental condition improved as well as my finance.
