The real reason why I don’t drink alcohol is because the sugar content in it makes my stomach feel funky the next day. I really don’t like to feel funky because one of my favorite things to do is eat.

Also, the temporary buzz I get from alcohol (which is very temporary) isn’t worth how it makes me feel the next day. If I have a glass of wine, I might feel a little more relaxed for about 12 to 14 minutes. That’s about it. The buzz doesn’t really last that long for me.

The taste of wine is good, but not worth the after effects that I experience. That’s the only reason I don’t drink.

It’s interesting though. There are a lot of people who do drink alcohol, and a lot of people whose personality totally change when they do. Last night we witnessed the annoying change of personality due to booze.

We live on the beach near the fireworks show and all night all we heard was loud drunk obnoxious people who could not handle there booze. They screamed and yelled like a pack of wild 5 year olds on a sugar high.

They lost all concept of manners and this drunken stupor not only sounded awful but you know really is not much fun.

You know how there is the Surgeon General’s warning on packs of cigarettes advising you that smoking is dangerous to your health? Well I’ve always thought there should be a warning label on bottles of booze that says this: “Warning: Consumption of this substance may turn you into an annoying, loud, obnoxious asshole.”

So here’s a tip for all of you who drink . . .

If the day after you drink people tell you that you were really rude, loud or obnoxious the night before, then I think you should stop drinking booze. Remember, you only have one chance to make a first impression.

You may think that you need alcohol to loosen you up when you go to a party. If drinking alcohol turns you into a loud, annoying and obnoxious drunkard, though, then everyone at that party who sees you act that way will think that is what you are like all the time. Even if you are the sweetest and most amazing person otherwise, people will label you loud and obnoxious if that is how they first see you acting.

So how do you get when you drink? I know some people who have a drink, and you’d never know it. My best friend can have ten drinks and talk to everyone in the room, and no one would suspect he’s had a lot to drink.

I’ve met other people who have only one or two drinks, though, and that turns them into a totally different person. Another friend of mine used to have three or four drinks, and Mongo would come out. He’d start drooling a little bit. His words would slur. He became a totally different person.

So start asking your friends how you act when you’re drinking alcohol. Alcohol unfortunately tends to give a lot of people temporary Alzheimer’s where they forget if they were loud, obnoxious and being an asshole.

So it’s time you started looking into your drinking, and finding out what type of person you become when you drink. If you become that annoying person when you drink, you may be turning off a lot of people without realizing it.

People are always asking me for great ideas for dates, and here I am, walking on the beach at about 8:30 at night and there is almost a full moon. We’re in Marina del Ray, facing Playa del Ray right now and we’re watching the planes take off from LAX.

I’m looking at the guys – Rey, Khiem, and Tony – and I’m thinking, what a great romantic night! If only there was a woman here. But there is – Daphne is here.

But what a great thing to do – if you live near a beach, take a walk at night with somebody. It is just one of the most romantic dates you can have. There are so many different sensations. Take your shoes off and allow your feet to have some fun in the sand. Smell the seawater. Walk through the sand near the edge of the water, and feel the difference. Feel the pebbles, listen to the waves.

One of the greatest things to do when there is a full moon is to watch the reflection of the moon on the water. It’s really nice and a great bonding experience.

Just a few minutes ago, we had a male bonding moment. It was like one of those moments from the movie Superbad. Remember that part where one of the characters said to the other, “you’re my best friend, man. I love you like a man!” That was so funny.

But this is a fantastic way to spend a summer night. Just watching the moon and the water – just taking in the sensations. You could even add a bottle of wine and just sit there. Bring a little picnic of wine and cheese to the beach.

If you don’t have a beach near you, another fun thing to do on a date is to go watch the planes take off. Go where the airport is and just watch the planes hit the sky at night. It’s really intense, because if you look in one direction – especially here in Southern California – on certain nights, you can see the traffic in the sky. You can see the sparkling lights of the traffic floating above LAX.

While watching the planes take off, you can also play the ‘guess what type of plane it is’ game. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) I think I’ve been on every single one and I can probably describe the seat layout of every plane that flies above.

But those are some good ideas for some fun nighttime dates – they are different, bonding, romantic, and, best of all, FREE!
