Tequila Math

Of my 36 halves: The latter, spent accruing 2 subtracted former halves, is 9, if equal parts divided mint 2 quarters passed 1 – done (tequila math). Those under 18 have no place in this. I was 19 when I first learned to drink. Keystone my freshman year; soph’moric Schlitz. 2 Jager bombed thirsts forced a senior’s shrink. That 25 uncorked a loveless wine meant 29 bed wedded Chuckie Cheese. 30 went sober with vows on the line, so - it's been over the last 6 of these. What all it equates to? 1 sweet tasty thought: Deep swallows of Brandy (candied apricot).
