First Drink (Patreon)

I've never had an alcoholic drink before. I know, I look like the kind of guy who knows his way about a bar but the truth is that yesterday I was only sixteen years old and now... well, I'm very clearly not. I'm an adult now and I get to do adult things like smoke cigars, go to work and yes, drink alcohol. Everything my father told me I was too young to do, basically.

At sixteen I was probably too old to be wishing upon shooting stars like I was the hero of a Disney movie, but after an explosive argument with my parents I was looking for a speedy escape. As I saw the light travel across the night sky I made my wish to be old enough to make my own decisions. It was said as little more than a whisper and I didn't expect anybody to be listening at all but it seems that some higher power out there was.

Whatever change had occurred to age me twenty years into the future, it also affected the world around me too. I had my own apartment, a cell phone full of pictures of me with a variety of beautiful women and a number of documents that suggested that I worked as a Senior Consultant at the same company my father worked at - as a Junior Consultant! The fact that I outranked him now and was technically his boss was just the icing on the cake, so to speak!

Waking up in this brand new life as an adult man is enough to warrant a celebratory drink which is why I'm currently sat at a bar trying to decide what I should drink first. After all, it's not like my dad can really stop me from having some alcohol now, is it?

Hmm, maybe I'll settle for a classic beer. My old man always seemed to like it and now I'm my own 'old man'! Yeah, beer it is, dude. Let's get this night started!
