I may also post this one over on the bad habits song challenge page. I wonder if a lot of people have given up cocktails only due to the sour economy.
I DON’T DRINK COCKTAILS ANYMORE
c2001 Brian Beecher
After a recent period of hard work I thought that perhaps it was time to splurge There was so much I desired to do Didn’t have a clue that one night I would bump into
A special someone at a bar or club Who gave me confidence enough to cut The ties to things that bound me for so long And as time went on I would sing a different song
But baby I don’t drink cocktails anymore I’ll be right back at home later on today I know I have no hidden motives anymore With you I can find a better way
It is not wise to drag out into the light Intentions which might not materialize I would lose track of what was going on It will all be different when I arrive at home
And baby I don’t drink cocktails anymore I’ll be right back at home later on today I know I have no hidden motives anymore With you I can find a better way
I didn’t want to hurt you in any way I wanted to be free to go out and play To work toward realizing an ideal Just served to blind me to all that is real
But baby I don’t drink cocktails anymore I’ll be right back at home later on today I know I have no hidden motives anymore With you I can find a better way
And baby I don’t drink cocktails anymore

I am usually not in the habit of responding to my own writings unless somebody else makes a comment first. But just wanted to add that in the real world I have very rarely ever had an actual cocktail, although will have a beer on some occasions. Even though we are said to be in recovery mode now eight years after this so-called Great Recession, so many are still struggling and yet it amazes me how many people still do order cocktails when they go out to dinner. These drinks are very expensive, and at times just about as much so as the meal itself. And many restaurants I really couldn't afford to eat at are full the majority of the time. Most of the time when I do go out to eat it is with a discount coupon, and many times won't even have a soft drink as they have gotten quite expensive too.
