#new zealand has a terrible drinking culture and crate day is a perfect example of our unhealthy relationship with alcohol

[thewater]

i don’t know how far my reach is but here in Aotearoa, we have a time honoured tradition. Crate Day. Where on the first saturday of december (first saturday of summer here in the southern hemisphere) you buy a crate of beer (12 bottles (750mls each (9 litres of beer))) and you start at midday and you have until midnight to finish them (1 bottle per hour) but beer is gross as hell so some people do two boxes (of rtds) (24 bottles/cans of a Ready To Drink)

but i am a little baby light weight

and so my flatmate and i decided to just split a bottle of prosecco and make mimosas. but then we realised that was only 3-4 standards each. so we got red bull and decided to vodka redbulls. and then we realised we had both opened a v (energy drink in nz) so i have currently drunk 2 vodka redbulls and half a bottle of wine and one vodka v.

i was having an excellent time listening and jamming to 2010’s tunes. i decided to make people food

then two other girls came over

they didn’t eat any of my food

and now it’s not 2010’s music it’s music i don’t like

and it flatmate who i was drinking with is talking to the other girls more and ignoring me and my additions to the conversation

and now i’m not having fun anymore :( i just want to jam out to white girl music as i down a bottle of wine

is that too much to ask :(
