Howdy, #openmic family! I've got another Steemit exclusive original this week!

---

I'm sure you've all noticed that social networking while intoxicated can lead you into some tight spots. With Steem, this is more true than ever.

---

I'll bet plenty of you have found yourself regretting tipsy posts or comments the next day. Or worse, you may have felt repercussions in the form of unfollows or downvotes. Eek.

My #OpenMic Week 79 solution: Don't Drink and Steem!

---

Lyrics

Don’t drink and comment, don’t drink and Steem,
Don’t drink and transfer any funds,
Though you think you’re being wise, you’ll only compromise
Your reputation score and more before you’re done.

Don’t drink and Steem, that’s my song,
No matter what you say, you’re probably gonna be wrong.
You’re bound to be regrettin’ it,
Once you’re done forgettin’ it,
I’m bettin’ it’ll all be clear before too long.

Steemin’ Stevie Ray went to the pub one day,
To have a drink and laugh with some old friends,
But he had some more than one, and before the night was done,
In chat he was atoning for his sends.

Don’t drink and Steem, that’s what I say,
You’re drunken words are never worth the price you’ll have to pay.
You thought that you were gifted when sobriety was lifted,
But it shifted by the morning anyway.

Don’t go when you’re hammered and peruse the trending page,
You’re bound to find opinions you don’t share.
Comments from a drunken fool are often less than sage,
When drinkin’ has your thinkin’ game impaired.

Don’t drink and Steem, I’ll tell you true.
Your whiskey-driven drivel’s gonna get right back to you,
If you post inebriated, you mostly will be hated,
So sleep it off my friend and get a clue.
