# A Drunk Blogger's Regrets: Advice for Men Before 30
Written on
Chapter 1: Reflections of a Slightly Intoxicated Mind
What follows is an unrefined and possibly regrettable account, shared by a blogger in a tipsy state. Home alone and quite inebriated, I find myself compelled to share a few thoughts. Initially, I aimed to create a helpful guide for men entering their 30s, but it has morphed into a somewhat scathing letter to my younger self. Here’s some unsolicited advice from a drunken perspective.
The first video discusses the pitfalls of poor dating advice, featuring insights from Jordan Adika.
Section 1.1: Don't Mix Your Drinks
Steering clear of mixing soda with alcohol is crucial. You can maintain your dignity even if you have a drinking problem, but adding soda to your drink is just a way to mask your choices. For instance, a rum and Coke is often just an excuse to indulge in sugary drinks while shifting the blame for your behavior onto a weak rum mix. The truth is, you might just be acting like a jerk.
Subsection 1.1.1: Appropriate Footwear
Section 1.2: Footwear Choices for Adults
What’s the deal with runners? These shoes are meant for running—nothing more. They are not suitable for nightlife or fancy dining. Unless you’re being chased, leave your runners at home. Opt for proper leather shoes, like any respectable adult should.
Chapter 2: Growing Up and Skateboarding
The second video features Dr. Peter Attia discussing his guidelines for alcohol consumption, including moderation and timing.
Section 2.1: The Skateboard Dilemma
Some things don’t need much explanation. When I spot someone over the age of 25 on a skateboard, it’s hard not to feel a sense of embarrassment. Sure, it’s amusing to hear someone shout “kick flip” right before you take a tumble from a height that could be measured in centimeters. If you’re not Tony Hawk, it’s high time to retire the skateboard. Invest in clothes that fit, tie your shoelaces, and perhaps start job hunting. (If you’re mentoring kids in skateboarding, then keep doing your thing—ignore my previous comments. Kudos to you!)
Section 2.2: Beyond the Gym
We get it—you're a gym regular and fitness has taken center stage in many lives. However, it’s essential to cultivate interests beyond just discussing carbs and fats. Pick up a book, learn to play an instrument, or engage in a game of chess. Whatever you choose, please don’t bore those of us who prefer a slower demise through our vices.
Final Thoughts: Social Media Insights
People often share quotes they find meaningful without truly grasping their significance or knowing their origins. I vividly recall the moment I decided to deactivate my Facebook account after seeing a quote attributed to Morgan Freeman: “An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.” If you're going to share quotes, at least know who said them.
But this isn’t the most critical piece of advice. Here it is: be kind to each other and, above all, remember to pay your taxes. (That last tip was more for my sake than yours!)
