6 Tips On How to Successfully Blog... While Drinking... 🍷🍷😎❗

Drinking, while doing anything - except partying - doesn't work. And even then, it should be done in moderation. You say you want to drink and write? Well THAT'S, a recipe for failure. But what if , someone challenged you to a game. Let's assume the question was - 'Can you successfully blog while drinking?' Here are six tips to help you win that bet.

1. Choose a Title or Theme, Ahead Of Time:
Don't count on thinking with impartial clarity while that bottle is open. Develop a theme, outline, and title - before that cork comes off. A 'good idea' - while your brain is fuzzy - is often, not as good as you think it is.

2. Eat Beforehand:
Never drink on an empty stomach. A tasty balance of starches and carbs provides your gut with a satisfying surge of energy. More importantly, it will coat your stomach with a protective layer of nutrients to prevent those alcohol molecules from overpowering your brain too quickly.

3. Don't Mix Drinks :
Choose your favorite beverage and stick with it. Don't mix red with white or beer with hard stuff. What would you lean towards?

4. Choose a Good Word Editor:
Nothing worse than a poorly crafted sentence or one with tons of mistakes in it. I use 'Word' to manage my prose and eliminate typos and grammar errors. 'Grammarly' is a good choice as well. Copy and paste your final version into your target document.

5. Edit, Edit... Then Edit Some More:
Don't get carried away. Just because you have 2 thousand words swimming in your head, doesn't mean you're obliged to put them all down. Less is more. If you can take a paragraph and put it into a sentence, then chop that sentence and find one word that fits - do it. A thesaurus is a great tool, especially for the tipsy mind.

6. Be Safe Before You're Sorry:
Before you finally press 'enter' and send your thoughts out into the web, triple and quadruple check what you've scribbled. You don't want to offend or piss anyone off - unless THAT'S your goal. Remember, once out there your words can't be taken back!

And there you have it. A guide and 6 tips to successfully combining the bottle with the blog - or any written words, for that matter.

Personally, I never drink while typing a written piece of anything. Those vodka pineapple slushies - I'm fond of - are for weekends by the lake. Now, mind you, if it's a letter to my bank or a comment to a person who's brushed a nerve - my inner monologue disappears and I might let some un-sanded words fly.

Can you think of anything I've missed? How do you edit your words and thoughts before pressing 'enter' and letting them flutter?

I wouldn't drink tequila: I'm not a huge fan. 😎❗👍
What's your least favorite?

I've never tried to drink and write, nor wanted to, why ruin a good buzz? But one rule I learned a long time ago, If it's something that might be controversial, or involves more than myself, or written in a heat of passion or anger to get something off my chest, I might jot it down it, but revisit again in 24 hours before hitting enter. And that applies to responding to someone else's writings also. It's amazing how unimportant things might become in 24 hours.

In your 'apology' to me for kicking me repeatedly when I was down, you said that Jameson had a lot to do with your written comments. Maybe you would be kind enough to explain how you square that off against your assertion that you 'never drink while typing a written piece of anything'? I don't mean to kick you while you're down, but I'm having difficulty in reconciling the two statements.

A gentleman of colour recently demonstrated to me the true meaning of humility and of the ability to stop and listen before truly being able to understand someone else's perspective. I always thought myself pretty good at that, until I read the fellow's words. I'll happily point you in the direction of his comment if you think it would be of use to you?

Never use the word 'never' - was THAT your point? ðŸĪ” lol

Thanks for the reminder. 👍🍷🍷😎❗

By all means, please share. And thanks for that! 👍

Hm, I used to drink and interact in the chat room quite frequently...hopefully I never offended anyone...well, a few times I meant to. Ha!

I don't use any tools like Grammarly, but it probably wouldn't hurt. The one thing I sometimes catch myself doing is using the same word twice in the same paragraph. In my last post it was the word 'wonderful'. I didn't see it until after I hit post, but it bugged me enough to go back and change the second one to 'fantastic'.

There's no way around that.
But, with all due respect - ya had a good point. After, I'd read what you went through, I changed my pov.
Yep. You have a good point. Now,
should I say, "Thanks for pointing that out?."
Sure. I never should have said 'never'.

In any case... I understand what you're saying.

It's about modifying the future based on the past. I'm working on it.
Thanks for sharing and pointing out which direction I should be headed., 👍 😎 ❗ 😘

From the tone of the blogs over the last few days, I thought maybe drinking while blogging is a requirement.

That's a quite interesting, or should i say, rude comment, coming form a person who is on this site for little over a year...obviously you do not know how to act right...

Personally, your profile sounds a fake, somehow I feel it's a male half of a couple just set up a female profile. in fact, it states, "married-couple exploring a hotwife lifestyle." you should have properly set up a couple profile, if it is a couple thing. does your wife know you put her naked pic on the site like this?

good luck on your search.

I didn't keep transcripts but my username might give you an idea of what went on.

Preferred beverage depends on time of year. Winter, red wine at home, maybe a martini if I'm out at a bar or restaurant. Summer, white wine or a margarita. I bought a bottle of pre-mixed margaritas at Costco and it was actually halfway decent, so that's my new thing.

I've never blogged drunk, but I do like to blog stoned. I use spell check, but that's the only thing have, I just type it and let it fly.
