I shouldn’t skip dinner as often as I do. Drinking on an empty stomach is not the adult thing to do. It is unhealthy and immature. It leads to reckless behavior and constant regrets. It is also the only way I have found to conserve money while not skimping on my social life while living in New York. Sure, this practice has lead to many unfortunate situations, like sleeping through our subway stop (sorry Catharine) or screwing things in Gchat (sorry Andrea), or countless other things I am less than proud of. But, if the option is dinner and drinks, or just drinks and more drinks, I am going to pick the later.

Can this practice be a should-and-do? Sometimes skipping a meal is a convenient time saver. Plus picking drinks and drinks over dinner and drinks means you don’t spend money on food, and you get drunk on fewer drinks. Or more drunk on the same number of drinks, as the case may be. Either way, it is a handy way of economizing.
